Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal zona glomerulosa, enhances sodium retention, thus
increasing blood volume and pressure. Excessive production of aldosterone results in high …

Aldosterone is the major mineralocorticoid synthesized by the adrenal and plays an
important role in the regulation of systemic blood pressure through the absorption of sodium …

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone synthesized in and secreted from the outer layer of the
adrenal cortex, the zona glomerulosa. Aldosterone is responsible for regulating sodium …

Aldosterone is a major mineralocorticoid steroid hormone secreted by glomerulosa cells in
the adrenal cortex. It regulates a variety of physiological responses including those to …

Polymorphic genes associated with Alzheimer's disease (see) delineate a clearly defined
pathway related to cerebral and peripheral cholesterol and lipoprotein homoeostasis. They …

The purpose of this article is to review fundamentals in adrenal gland histophysiology. Key
findings regarding the important signaling pathways involved in the regulation of …

We previously reported that in utero exposure of the male fetus to the plasticizer di-(2-
ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) resulted in decreased circulating levels of testosterone in the …

Adrenal aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are a main cause for primary
aldosteronism leading to arterial hypertension. Physiologically, aldosterone production in …

Abstract Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) regulates adrenal steroid production and gene transcription
through several signaling pathways. Changes in gene transcription occur within minutes …

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the key peptide hormone in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone
system (RAAS). Its ability to regulate levels of circulating aldosterone relies on actions on …
