The adrenal cortex plays a key role in the regulation of metabolism, salt and water
homeostasis and sex differentiation by synthesizing glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid and …

The adrenal cortex is responsible for production of adrenal steroid hormones and is
anatomically divided into three distinct zones: zona glomerulosa secreting …

The object of this review is to describe the role of the renin–angiotensin system in control of
aldosterone secretion. The review focuses on the roles of the circulating renin–angiotensin …

Aldosterone is synthesized in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex under primary
regulation by the renin-angiotensin system. Angiotensin II (A-II) acts through the angiotensin …

The circulating renin–angiotensin system is a major regulator of the secretion of the
adrenocortical hormone, aldosterone. This renin–angiotensin aldosterone system is …

In the adrenal gland all components of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) are expressed
in both the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. In this review evidence shall be …

The classic renin-angiotensin system is partly responsible for controlling aldosterone
secretion from the adrenal cortex via the peptide angiotensin II (ANG II). In addition, there is …

Adrenal aldosterone production is regulated by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). It is
now known that several other tissues are capable of extra-adrenal aldosterone biosynthesis …

The effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on all four zones of the adrenal gland was studied in
preparations of isolated perfused porcine adrenals. The exprimental design offered the …

Abstract Angiotensin-II (AII), a component of the renin-angiotensin system, is the major factor
that regulates the formation of aldosterone in the adrenal cortex zona glomerulosa (ZG). The …
