PATIENT WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE. RATIONAL CHOICE OF THERAPY
The theory of chronic hyperactivation of neurohormonal systems, in particular, sympathoadrenal and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone, is the basis of modern concepts of the pathogenesis of heart failure. The medicinal blocking of these two systems has proved

Comparison of stress-induced changes in adults and pups: is aldosterone the main adrenocortical stress hormone during the perinatal period in rats? [PDF]
Positive developmental impact of low stress-induced glucocorticoid levels in early development has been recognized for a long time, while possible involvement of mineralocorticoids in the stress response during the perinatal period has been neglected ...

Aldosterone and Mineralocorticoid Receptors—Physiology and Pathophysiology
Aldosterone is a uniquely terrestrial hormone, first appearing in lungfish, which have both gills and lungs. Mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs), on the other hand, evolved much earlier, and are found in cartilaginous and bony fish, presumptive ligand ...

Roles of the Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Skin Pathophysiology
The nuclear hormone receptor (NR) superfamily comprises approximately 50 evolutionarily conserved proteins that play major roles in gene regulation by prototypically acting as ligand-dependent transcription factors.

Aldosterone: Essential for Life but Damaging to the Vascular Endothelium
The renin angiotensin aldosterone system is a key regulator of blood pressure. Aldosterone is the final effector of this pathway, acting predominantly via mineralocorticoid receptors. Aldosterone facilitates the conservation of sodium and, with it, water

The role of aldosterone in the development of atrial fibrillation: modern understanding of problem
The review of literature presents modern ideas about the role of aldosterone in the development and maintenance of atrial fibrillation. It is shown that hormone takes part in all stages of the electrophysiological and structural atrial remodeling ...
