Spironolactone treatment attenuates vascular dysfunction in type 2 diabetic mice by decreasing oxidative stress and restoring NO/GC signaling [PDF]
, 2015 Type 2 diabetes (DM2) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Aldosterone, which has pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory effects in the cardiovascular system, is positively regulated in DM2.

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

The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Hypertension in Patients With Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]
, 2019 When hypertension, a pathology that is frequently found in the general population, presents in a young patient, secondary causes such as Cushing's syndrome (CS), a rare disease characterized by long-term elevated cortisol levels, should be considered ...

Aldosterone Blocks Rat Stem Leydig Cell Development In Vitro
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Aldosterone (ALDO) is a primary endogenous mineralocorticoid, appearing as the main hormone controlling sodium and water homeostasis. Its emerging role in the development of many organs has gained interest over the past few years.

Crystal structure of the mineralocorticoid receptor DNA binding domain in complex with DNA.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The steroid hormone receptors regulate important physiological functions such as reproduction, metabolism, immunity, and electrolyte balance. Mutations within steroid receptors result in endocrine disorders and can often drive cancer formation and ...

Evolution of ligand specificity in vertebrate corticosteroid receptors
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Corticosteroid receptors include mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid (GR) receptors. Teleost fishes have a single MR and duplicate GRs that show variable sensitivities to mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids.
