Treatment of Hypertension in a Child With 11Beta-Hydroxylase Deficiency: A Case Report
Background: 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11βOHD) is clinically presented with external genitalia virilization in girls and precocious puberty in boys. Low renin hypertension occurs in both sexes.

The Dark Side of Licorice Consumption
Licorice-induced apparent mineralocorticoid excess is a rare but reversible cause of hypertension and hypokalemia. Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), found in licorice, inhibits 11β-HSD2, increasing renal cortisol and activating mineralocorticoid receptors.

Glucocorticoid feedback paradox: a homage to Mary Dallman
As the end product of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and corticosterone coordinate circadian activities, stress-coping, and adaptation to change.

The Promiscuous Mineralocorticoid Receptor [PDF]
See related article, pp 897–905 The article by Briet et al1 in this issue, “Aldosterone-induced vascular remodeling and endothelial dysfunction require functional angiotensin type 1a receptors,” represents a prodigious amount of work by the authors: it is not surprising that the first 3 are credited as having equally contributed. The authors build on

Stress-induced enhancement of mouse amygdalar synaptic plasticity depends on glucocorticoid and ß-adrenergic activity. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoid hormones, in interaction with noradrenaline, enable the consolidation of emotionally arousing and stressful experiences in rodents and humans.

Osteoporosis from long‐term glucocorticoid (GIOP) use elevates susceptibility to fracture. This study shows GCs impair ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism in osteoblasts, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix integrity. AA enhanced collagen biochemical and mechanical properties and restored osteoblast and endothelial function. These findings underscore

Pseudohypoaldosteronism in a newborn male with functional polymorphisms in the mineralocorticoid receptor genes [PDF]
Hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in infancy can be attributed to various causes, originating from a variety of renal and genetic disorders. Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is one of these disorders, causing mineralocorticoid resistance that results in

Objective: Carbonyl reductase 1 (Cbr1), a recently discovered contributor to tissue glucocorticoid metabolism converting corticosterone to 20β-dihydrocorticosterone (20β-DHB), is upregulated in adipose tissue of obese humans and mice and may contribute ...

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...
