Cardiac response to chronic restraint stress involves mineralocorticoid receptors in male Sprague–Dawley rats [PDF]
Physiological ReportsIn the present study, we aimed at elucidating whether exposure to chronic stress affects the expression of cardiac mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs), whether it influences cardiac structure and function, and whether MRs blockade attenuates the stress ...

30 YEARS OF THE MINERALOCORTICOID RECEPTOR: Mineralocorticoid receptor mutations [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2017 Aldosterone and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) are key elements for maintaining fluid and electrolyte homeostasis as well as regulation of blood pressure. Loss-of-function mutations of the MR are responsible for renal pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1), a rare disease of mineralocorticoid resistance presenting in the newborn with weight loss ...

Influence of allelic variations in relation to norepinephrine and mineralocorticoid receptors on psychopathic traits: a pilot study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Past findings support a relationship between abnormalities in the amygdala and the presence of psychopathic traits. Among other genes and biomarkers relevant to the amygdala, norepinephrine and mineralocorticoid receptors might both play a ...

Cardiorenal benefits of finerenone: protecting kidney and heart
Annals of Medicine, 2023 Persons with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high residual risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) complications despite treatment with renin-angiotensin system blockers and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors.

The Evolution of Mineralocorticoid Receptors [PDF]
Molecular Endocrinology, 2006 Abstract When the human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR) was cloned and sequenced by the Evans laboratory, its close homology with the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) was noted; subsequently, on the basis of its higher sequence similarity to the GR than to the progesterone receptor (PR) or androgen receptor (AR), MR and GR have ...

Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1 with a Novel Mutation in the Gene: A Case Report [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2020 Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare salt-wasting disorder caused by resistance to mineralocorticoid action. PHA1 is of two types with different levels of disease severity and phenotype as follows: systemic type with an autosomal recessive ...

New Perspectives on Sex Steroid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Cardiac Ischemic Injury
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The global burden of ischemic heart disease is burgeoning for both men and women. Although advances have been made, the need for new sex-specific therapies targeting key differences in cardiovascular disease outcomes in men and women remains ...

Distinct regulation of hippocampal neuroplasticity and ciliary genes by corticosteroid receptors
Nature Communications, 2021 Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are of critical importance for maintaining brain health, but their involvement in mental disorders is poorly understood. Here the authors show how GCs act through hippocampal mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors to
