Aldosterone
A hormone secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX that regulates electrolyte and water balance by increasing the renal retention of sodium and the excretion of potassium.
Aldosterone Synthase
A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 18-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-specific flavoprotein. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11B2 gene, is important in the conversion of CORTICOSTERONE to 18-hydroxycorticosterone and the subsequent conversion to ALDOSTERONE.

Receptors, Mineralocorticoid
Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind MINERALOCORTICOIDS and mediate their cellular effects. The receptor with its bound ligand acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of specific segments of DNA.
Spironolactone
A potassium sparing diuretic that acts by antagonism of aldosterone in the distal renal tubules. It is used mainly in the treatment of refractory edema in patients with congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis. Its effects on the endocrine system are utilized in the treatments of hirsutism and acne but they can lead to adverse effects. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p827)
Hyperaldosteronism
A condition caused by the overproduction of ALDOSTERONE. It is characterized by sodium retention and potassium excretion with resultant HYPERTENSION and HYPOKALEMIA.
Renin
A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
Mineralocorticoids
A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS primarily associated with water and electrolyte balance.

Steroid 11-beta-Hydroxylase
A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 11-beta-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11B1 gene, is important in the synthesis of CORTICOSTERONE and HYDROCORTISONE. Defects in CYP11B1 cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL).

Angiotensin-converting enzyme, contained in the lung, acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to ANGIOTENSIN II, an extremely powerful vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes contraction of the arteriolar and renal VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE, leading to retention of salt and water in the KIDNEY and increased arterial blood pressure. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates the release of ALDOSTERONE from the ADRENAL CORTEX, which in turn also increases salt and water retention in the kidney. Angiotensin-converting enzyme also breaks down BRADYKININ, a powerful vasodilator and component of the KALLIKREIN-KININ SYSTEM.

Potassium Deficiency
A condition due to decreased dietary intake of potassium, as in starvation or failure to administer in intravenous solutions, or to gastrointestinal loss in diarrhea, chronic laxative abuse, vomiting, gastric suction, or bowel diversion. Severe potassium deficiency may produce muscular weakness and lead to paralysis and respiratory failure. Muscular malfunction may result in hypoventilation, paralytic ileus, hypotension, muscle twitches, tetany, and rhabomyolysis. Nephropathy from potassium deficit impairs the concentrating mechanism, producing POLYURIA and decreased maximal urinary concentrating ability with secondary POLYDIPSIA. (Merck Manual, 16th ed)

RNA, Messenger
RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

Acute and chronic dose-response relationships for angiotensin, aldosterone, and arterial pressure at varying levels of sodium intake. (1/2815)

We examined the acute and chronic dose-response relationships between intravenously infused angiotensin II (A II) and the resulting changes in arterial pressure and plasma aldosterone concentration at varying levels of sodium intake. Sequential analysis of plasma aldosterone at each A II infusion rate resulted in an acute dose-related increase in plasma aldosterone which was markedly attenuated after the first 24 hours of infusion, the final level being directly related to the dose of A II and inversely related to sodium intake. A II infused at 5,15, and 23 ng/kg per min was associated with an initial increase (2nd to 8th hour) in plasma aldosterone to 2,6, and 9 times control values, respectively, in dogs receiving 40 mEq Na+/day. But, after the 1st day, aldosterone averaged only 1, 1.7, and 3 times control values for the next 2 weeks at the same rates of A II infusion. Dogs receiving 120 mEq Na+/day during A II infusion exhibited only a transient increase in plasma aldosterone during the 1st day. Sustained hypertension developed over a period of a week at all doses of A II at normal and high sodium intake, but did not occur at any dose of A II in sodium-depleted dogs. Increasing sodium intake from 40 to 120 mEq/day resulted in higher levels of hypertension, 125% compared to 140% of ocntrol values for dogs infused with A II, 5.0 ng/kg per min. We conclude that primary angiotensin-induced hypertension need not be associated with increased levels of plasma aldosterone, which appears to remain elevated only with amounts of A II greater than those required to sustain a significant degree of hypertension.  (+info)

Low calorie diet enhances renal, hemodynamic, and humoral effects of exogenous atrial natriuretic peptide in obese hypertensives. (2/2815)

The expression of the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor is abundant in human and rat adipose tissue, where it is specifically inhibited by fasting. In obese hypertensives, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels were found to be lower than in obese normotensives. Therefore, the increased adipose mass might influence ANP levels and/or its biological activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the humoral, hemodynamic, and renal effects of exogenous ANP in obese hypertensives might be enhanced by a very low calorie diet. Eight obese hypertensives received a bolus injection of ANP (0.6 mg/kg) after 2 weeks of a normal calorie/normal sodium diet, and blood pressure (BP), heart rate, ANP, cGMP, plasma renin activity, and aldosterone were evaluated for 2 hours before and after the injection. Diuresis and natriuresis were measured every 30 minutes. The patients then started a low calorie/normal sodium diet (510 kcal/150 mmol/d) for 4 days, and then the ANP injection protocol was repeated. The low calorie diet induced a slight weight loss (from 90.6+/-1.1 to 87. 7+/-1.2 kg; P<0.01), which was accompanied by increase of cGMP excretion (from 146.0+/-10.1 to 154.5+/-9.5 nmol/24 h; P<0.05) together with a reduction of BP (P<0.01 versus basal levels). ANP injection after diet was followed by an increase of ANP levels similar to that observed before diet, but plasma cGMP, diuresis, and natriuresis increased significantly only after diet. Similarly, the decrease of BP after ANP administration was significantly higher after diet (change in mean arterial pressure, -6.4+/-0.7 versus -4. 0+/-0.6 mm Hg; P<0.05) as well as that of aldosterone (P<0.01). These data show that a low calorie diet enhances the humoral, renal, and hemodynamic effects of ANP in obese hypertensives and confirm the importance of caloric intake in modulating the biological activity of ANP, suggesting that the natriuretic peptide system can play a role in the acute changes of natriuresis and diuresis associated with caloric restriction.  (+info)

Aldosterone excretion rate and blood pressure in essential hypertension are related to polymorphic differences in the aldosterone synthase gene CYP11B2. (3/2815)

Significant correlation of body sodium and potassium with blood pressure (BP) may suggest a role for aldosterone in essential hypertension. In patients with this disease, the ratio of plasma renin to plasma aldosterone may be lower than in control subjects and plasma aldosterone levels may be more sensitive to angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion. Because essential hypertension is partly genetic, it is possible that altered control of aldosterone synthase gene expression or translation may be responsible. We compared the frequency of 2 linked polymorphisms, one in the steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) binding site and the other an intronic conversion (IC), in groups of hypertensive and normotensive subjects. In a larger population, the relationship of aldosterone excretion rate to these polymorphisms was also evaluated. In 138 hypertensive subjects, there was a highly significant excess of TT homozygosity (SF-1) over CC homozygosity compared with a group of individually matched normotensive control subjects. The T allele was significantly more frequent than the C allele in the hypertensive group compared with the control group. Similarly, there was a highly significant relative excess of the conversion allele over the "wild-type" allele and of conversion homozygosity over wild-type homozygosity in the hypertensive group compared with the control group. In 486 subjects sampled from the North Glasgow Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) population, SF-1 and IC genotypes were compared with tetrahydroaldosterone excretion rate. Subjects with the SF-1 genotypes TT or TC had significantly higher excretion rates than those with the CC genotype. The T allele was associated with higher excretion rates than the C allele. However, no significant differences were found in excretion rate between subjects of different IC genotype. Urinary aldosterone excretion rate may be a useful intermediate phenotype linking these genotypes to raised BP. However, no causal relationship has yet been established, and it is possible that the polymorphisms may be in linkage with other causative mutations.  (+info)

Sodium requirement of adult cats for maintenance based on plasma aldosterone concentration. (4/2815)

The sodium requirement of adult cats for maintenance was determined using a randomized block design of eight dietary sodium treatments (0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.66, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 or 2.0 g Na/kg in a casein-lactalbumin-based purified diet) administered for periods of 4 wk. A total of 35 adult specific-pathogen-free domestic shorthaired cats (26 males and 9 females, 1.5-3 y of age) was given an equilibration diet (2 g Na/kg) for 14 d before assignment (or reassignment) to the treatments. A total of 12 cats (8 males, 4 females) was randomly assigned to the lowest six levels of sodium, and four cats to the highest two sodium levels. Cats consuming the diet containing 0.1 g Na/kg had significantly elevated aldosterone concentration in plasma, and packed cell volume. In addition, these cats exhibited anorexia, body weight loss, reduced urinary specific gravity and sodium excretion, and had a negative sodium balance. However, adult cats did not develop polydypsia and polyuria reported in sodium-deficient kittens. Cats given the diet containing 0.66 g Na/kg did not have an increased packed cell volume, but aldosterone concentration in the plasma was significantly elevated. However, cats given diets containing >/=0.8 g Na/kg had plasma aldosterone concentrations +info)

Epithelial sodium channel regulated by aldosterone-induced protein sgk. (5/2815)

Sodium homeostasis in terrestrial and freshwater vertebrates is controlled by the corticosteroid hormones, principally aldosterone, which stimulate electrogenic Na+ absorption in tight epithelia. Although aldosterone is known to increase apical membrane Na+ permeability in target cells through changes in gene transcription, the mechanistic basis of this effect remains poorly understood. The predominant early effect of aldosterone is to increase the activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), although ENaC mRNA and protein levels do not change initially. Rather, the open probability and/or number of channels in the apical membrane are greatly increased by unknown modulators. To identify hormone-stimulated gene products that modulate ENaC activity, a subtracted cDNA library was generated from A6 cells, a stable cell line of renal distal nephron origin, and the effect of candidates on ENaC activity was tested in a coexpression assay. We report here the identification of sgk (serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase), a member of the serine-threonine kinase family, as an aldosterone-induced regulator of ENaC activity. sgk mRNA and protein were strongly and rapidly hormone stimulated both in A6 cells and in rat kidney. Furthermore, sgk stimulated ENaC activity approximately 7-fold when they were coexpressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. These data suggest that sgk plays a central role in aldosterone regulation of Na+ absorption and thus in the control of extracellular fluid volume, blood pressure, and sodium homeostasis.  (+info)

Primary aldosteronism with aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma in a pregnant woman. (6/2815)

A 30-year-old pregnant woman complained of muscle weakness at 29 weeks' gestation. She was hypertensive with severe hypokalemia. Lower plasma renin activity and higher aldosterone level than the normal values in pregnancy suggested primary aldosteronism. A cesarean delivery was performed at 31 weeks' gestation because of pulmonary congestion. The neonatal course was uncomplicated. The laparoscopic adrenalectomy for a 2.0-cm right adrenal adenoma resulted in normalizing of her blood pressure and serum potassium level. Although primary aldosteronism is rare, especially during pregnancy, it should be always considered as one of etiologies of hypertension in pregnancy.  (+info)

Aldosterone, not estradiol, is the physiological agonist for rapid increases in cAMP in vascular smooth muscle cells. (7/2815)

BACKGROUND: Steroid-induced gene regulation in the endocrine tissues and vascular wall is achieved through the interaction of specific receptor proteins and promoters of target genes. In addition to these delayed steroid actions, rapid effects of steroids have been reported in various tissues that were clearly incompatible with the classic theory of genomic steroid action. METHODS AND RESULTS: Because high doses of 17beta-estradiol have been shown to modulate intracellular cAMP levels in vascular smooth muscle cells, steroid-induced stimulation of adenylate cyclase stimulation and phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein was investigated in porcine coronary artery vascular smooth muscle cells. Aldosterone induces a approximately 1.5- to 2.5-fold increase in intracellular cAMP levels (EC50 approximately 0.01 to 0.1 nmol/L) within 1 minute, whereas 17beta-estradiol and hydrocortisone act only at supraphysiological concentrations (10 micromol/L). Aldosterone-induced changes in intracellular cAMP are calcium dependent; they are not blocked by inhibitors of mineralocorticoid receptors, transcription, or protein synthesis. In addition, aldosterone induces a time-dependent phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein with potential transcriptional importance. CONCLUSIONS: A nongenomic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells by aldosterone is consistent with the data that aldosterone, not estrogen, is the physiological stimulus for cAMP.  (+info)

Comparison of two aquaretic drugs (niravoline and OPC-31260) in cirrhotic rats with ascites and water retention. (8/2815)

kappa-Opioid receptor agonists (niravoline) or nonpeptide antidiuretic hormone (ADH) V2 receptor antagonists (OPC-31260) possess aquaretic activity in cirrhosis; however, there is no information concerning the effects induced by the chronic administration of these drugs under this condition. To compare the renal and hormonal effects induced by the long-term oral administration of niravoline, OPC-31260, or vehicle, urine volume, urinary osmolality, sodium excretion, and urinary excretion of aldosterone (ALD) and ADH were measured in basal conditions and for 10 days after the daily oral administration of niravoline, OPC-31260, or vehicle to cirrhotic rats with ascites and water retention. Creatinine clearance, serum osmolality, ADH mRNA expression, and systemic hemodynamics were also measured at the end of the study. Niravoline increased water excretion, peripheral resistance, serum osmolality, and sodium excretion and reduced creatinine clearance, ALD and ADH excretion, and mRNA expression of ADH. OPC-31260 also increased water metabolism and sodium excretion and reduced urinary ALD, although the aquaretic effect was only evident during the first 2 days, and no effects on serum osmolality, renal filtration, and systemic hemodynamics were observed. Therefore, both agents have aquaretic efficacy, but the beneficial therapeutic effects of the long-term oral administration of niravoline are more consistent than those of OPC-31260 in cirrhotic rats with ascites and water retention.  (+info)

1. Intra-erythrocyte sodium, potassium, ATP and (Na+,K+-activated)-ATPase concentrations and urinary aldosterone excretion were compared in 3-month-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (n = 11) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto control rats (n = 11).. 2. Spontaneously hypertensive rats exhibited significantly higher intra-erythrocyte sodium concentration (5.5 ± 1.3 vs 4.0 ± 1.1 mmol/l of erythrocytes, P , 0.01). No significant difference was found in intra-erythrocyte potassium, ATP or (Na+,K+-activated)-ATPase concentration.. 3. Mean urinary aldosterone excretion was significantly lower in spontaneously hypertensive rats (66.3 ± 6.5 pmol/24 h) than in Wistar-Kyoto rats (90.5 ± 10.6 pmol/24 h, P , 0.01). No significant relationship between urinary aldosterone and intra-erythrocyte sodium concentration was found in spontaneously hypertensive or Wistar-Kyoto rats or in the pooled group.. 4. These results are thus consistent with previous findings of an increased intracellular sodium concentration ...

Background Elevated aldosterone can be associated with elevated mortality in the overall population. analysis demonstrated that utilizing the low aldosterone as the guide, high aldosterone was inversely connected with reduced threat ratios for mortality (0.49; 95% self-confidence period, 0.25C0.76) and initial cardiovascular event (0.70; 95% self-confidence period, 0.33?0.78) in the current presence of quantity overload. On the other hand, high aldosterone was connected with an elevated risk for mortality (1.97; 95% self-confidence period, 1.69C3.75) alpha-Boswellic acid manufacture and initial cardiovascular event (2.01; 95% self-confidence period, 1.28?4.15) in the lack of quantity overload. Conclusions The inverse association of aldosterone with adverse final results in hemodialysis sufferers is because of the confounding aftereffect of quantity overload. These results support treatment of hyperaldosteronemia in hemodialysis sufferers who have attained strict quantity control. Introduction ...

CONTEXT: Body mass index (BMI) shows a direct correlation with plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and urinary aldosterone excretion in normotensive individuals; whether the same applies to hypertensive patients is unknown. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine if BMI predicts PAC and the PAC/plasma renin activity ratio [aldosterone renin ratio (ARR)] in hypertensive patients, and if this affects the identification of primary aldosteronism (PA). DESIGN: This was a prospective evaluation of consecutive hypertensive patients referred nationwide to specialized hypertension centers. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Sitting PAC, plasma renin activity, and the ARR, baseline and after 50 mg captopril orally with concomitant assessment of parameters, including BMI and daily sodium intake, were calculated. RESULTS: Complete biochemical data and a definite diagnosis were obtained in 1125 consecutive patients. Of them 999 had primary (essential) hypertension (PH) and 126 (11.2%) PA caused by an ...

Effectiveness of Aldosterone Blockade in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy | HypertensionEffectiveness of Aldosterone Blockade in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy | Hypertension
In the first part of this study, we showed that UAE in patients with aldosterone escape is significantly higher than that in patients without. In the second part, although our data were obtained in a small sample, we demonstrated that adding spironolactone to treatment of with an ACE inhibitor is clinically useful and safe for patients with aldosterone escape.. Three aspects of this study are worthy of analysis. One is that aldosterone escape was detected in 40% of patients with early diabetic nephropathy. Escape of aldosterone production despite ACE inhibition has been shown in patients with hypertension,6,21,22 chronic heart failure,4,23 and in those with acute myocardial infarction.24 We have previously shown that aldosterone escape during ACE inhibition treatment occurred in 46% of patients with essential hypertension6 and to a very similar extent to that in the present study. In terms of the mechanisms of aldosterone escape, we previously reported that changes in blood pressure, ...

Excessive activation of β-adrenergic, angiotensin II, and aldosterone signaling pathways promotes mortality after myocardial infarction (MI), while antagonist drugs targeting these pathways are core therapies for treating post-MI patients. The multifunctional calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is activated by catecholamines and angiotensin II, and CaMKII inhibition prevents isoproterenol- and angiotensin II-mediated cardiomyopathy. Here we ask the hypothesis if aldosterone and CaMKII participated in common responses to MI by developing a mouse MI model supplemented by aldosterone infusion (MI+Aldo) to approximate plasma aldosterone levels measured in MI patients. We find that aldosterone exerts direct toxic actions on myocardium by oxidative activation of CaMKII, causing cardiac rupture and increased mortality in mice after MI (65.5% for aldosterone versus 31.0% for vehicle, P=0.007, n≥19 mice per treatment). Aldosterone oxidizes CaMKII by recruiting NADPH oxidase, and ...

Aldosterone deficiency adversely affects pregnancy outcome in mice - Zurich Open Repository and ArchiveAldosterone deficiency adversely affects pregnancy outcome in mice - Zurich Open Repository and Archive
Circulating aldosterone levels are increased in human pregnancy. Inadequately low aldosterone levels as present in preeclampsia, a life-threatening disease for both mother and child, are discussed to be involved in its pathogenesis or severity. Moreover, inactivating polymorphisms in the aldosterone synthase gene have been detected in preeclamptic women. Here, we used aldosterone synthase-deficient (AS(-/-)) mice to test whether the absence of aldosterone is sufficient to impair pregnancy or even to cause preeclampsia. AS(-/-) and AS(+/+) females were mated with AS(+/+) and AS(-/-) males, respectively, always generating AS(+/-) offspring. With maternal aldosterone deficiency in AS(-/-) mice, systolic blood pressure was low before and further reduced during pregnancy with no increase in proteinuria. Yet, AS(-/-) had smaller litters due to loss of fetuses as indicated by a high number of necrotic placentas with massive lymphocyte infiltrations at gestational day 18. Surviving fetuses and their ...

1. The effect of intravenous loading with 500 ml of sodium chloride solution (50 g/l) on plasma renin concentration, plasma aldosterone concentration, urinary sodium excretion and mean blood pressure was studied in 15 young patients with mild essential hypertension and 10 healthy normotensive control subjects.. 2. Plasma renin concentration and plasma aldosterone concentration were suppressed to the same degree during loading in both the hypertensive and normotensive groups. Urinary sodium excretion was significantly higher in the hypertensive patients than in the normotensive subjects. Mean blood pressure increased slightly in both groups.. 3. Plasma renin concentration and plasma aldosterone concentration were significantly correlated in both groups before sodium loading. The increase in urinary sodium excretion was significantly correlated to the suppression of plasma aldosterone concentration in the hypertensive, but not in the normotensive, group. No correlation was found between changes in ...

Plasma Aldosterone Levels and Development of Insulin Resistance | HypertensionPlasma Aldosterone Levels and Development of Insulin Resistance | Hypertension
Our cross-sectional analysis indicated a positive association between plasma aldosterone levels and insulin resistance. However, this association may be an epiphenomenon. Accordingly, we hypothesized that high levels of plasma aldosterone could predict the development of insulin resistance. Our results confirmed the hypothesis in subjects without insulin resistance at baseline. Although a recent prospective study from the Framingham Offspring Study29 has demonstrated that higher aldosterone levels are associated with the development of metabolic syndrome, they failed to demonstrate the association of aldosterone with the development of insulin resistance. The reason was not clear, but they stated in their limitations that, for the calculation of HOMA-insulin resistance, they used glucose and insulin 4 years before the baseline examination. Another explanation may be the racial difference, including the demographic backgrounds of the subjects, such as the prevalence of obesity; mean BMI in the ...

1. Previous studies have shown that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) inhibits the secretion of aldosterone by isolated adrenal glomerulosa cells stimulated by angiotensin II, adrenocorticotropic hormone and potassium in vitro. We have also demonstrated that this inhibitory effect of ANP on plasma aldosterone induced by angiotensin II and adrenocorticotropic hormone can be reproduced in vivo in conscious unrestrained rats. In this study, we have investigated the effect of an intravenous infusion of ANP on plasma aldosterone in conscious unrestrained sodium-depleted rats.. 2. During sodium depletion, the rise in plasma renin activity which determines an increment in the circulating concentration of angiotensin II was accompanied by a rise in aldosterone secretion as expected. ANP infused intravenously at a dose which increased the plasma concentration of the peptide three- to five-fold, produced a significant decrement in the concentration of aldosterone in plasma after an infusion period of 120 ...

The effects of retinoids on adrenal aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) expression and aldosterone secretion are still unknown. We therefore examined the effects of nuclear retinoid X receptor (RXR) pan-agonist PA024 on CYP11B2 expression, aldosterone secretion and blood pressure, to elucidate its potential as a novel anti-hypertensive drug. We demonstrated that PA024 significantly suppressed angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced CYP11B2 mRNA expression, promoter activity and aldosterone secretion in human adrenocortical H295R cells. Human CYP11B2 promoter functional analyses using its deletion and point mutants indicated that the suppression of CYP11B2 promoter activity by PA024 was in the region from -1521 (full length) to -106 including the NBRE-1 and the Ad5 elements, and the Ad5 element may be mainly involved in the PA024-mediated suppression. PA024 also significantly suppressed the Ang II-induced mRNA expression of transcription factors NURR1 and NGFIB that bind to and activate the Ad5 element. ...

The classic renin-angiotensin system is partly responsible for controlling aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex via the peptide angiotensin II (AngII). In addition, there is a local adrenocortical renin-angiotensin system that may be involved in the control of aldosterone synthesis in the zona glomerulosa (ZG). In order to characterize the long-term control of adrenal steroidogenesis, we utilized adrenal glands from renin knockout (KO) rats and compared steroidogenesis in vitro and steroidogenic enzyme expression to wild-type (WT) controls (Dahl S rat). Adrenal capsules (ZG; aldosterone production) and subcapsules (zona reticularis/fasciculata [ZFR]; corticosterone production) were separately dispersed and studied in vitro. Plasma renin activity and angiotensin II concentrations were extremely low in the KO rats. Basal and cAMP-stimulated aldosterone production was significantly reduced in renin KO ZG cells whereas corticosterone production was not different between WT and KO ZFR cells. As

Objectives: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is an under-diagnosed cause of hypertension characterised by autonomous aldosterone production with renin suppression and an elevated aldosterone:renin ratio (ARR). PA may be confirmed by an oral salt-loading test where 24-hour urinary aldosterone excretion (UAE) remains elevated (,33.3nmol/d) after 3 days of high salt intake with urinary sodium (UrNa) ,200mmol/d. Given the high sodium intake in our community, we hypothesise that PA may be diagnosed, or at least suggested, by an elevated aldosterone level in a routine 24-hour urine sample.. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 24-hour UrNa and UAE measurements from 151 patients (20 with confirmed PA, 131 without known PA) with corresponding plasma aldosterone and renin levels was performed. The clinical and biochemical data were obtained from Monash Health medical records. Statistical significance was set at p,0.05.. Results: Twenty-four-hour UrNa and UAE met salt-loading criteria for PA in 5 of 20 PA ...

It is 10 years since Davis and his associates have shown that decapitation of hypophysectomized dogs does not alter aldosterone secretion nor prevent a marked increase in aldosterone output in response to hemorrhage. Since then it has been popularly assumed that the reninangiotensin system is the primary regulator of aldosterone secretion. This issue is not yet settled satisfactorily, however. Whereas in man and experimental animals aldosterone secretion continues in the complete absence of the pituitary glands, many investigators have found that hypophysectomy or spontaneous hyperpituitarism results in an impaired aldosterone secretion under basal conditions or under various physiological stimuli. ...

Although aldosterone was classically described to act on renal epithelial cells, recent evidence suggests that the most significant contribution of aldosterone to both cardiovascular and renal disease results from nonepithelial, fibrotic, and proinflammatory effects at a number of target organs, including the heart and the kidneys. Epstein (9,10,33) reviewed the rapidly emerging preclinical evidence for aldosterone as a mediator of progressive renal disease. Consistent with previous findings using spironolactone (34), eplerenone has been demonstrated to confer renal protection independent of its effects on BP (15,17). In concert, these preclinical studies in diverse rat models demonstrated that the renal injury and fibrosis that are induced by aldosterone infusion are characterized by a florid inflammatory component that involves macrophage infiltration and cytokine upregulation. In addition, treatment with eplerenone reduced osteopontin and expression of proinflammatory molecules, with ...

The major findings of the present study are as follows: (1) AT1A-KO mice with MI had cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac dysfunction, and collagen gene expression, along with increased cardiac expression of the CYP11B2 gene and elevated cardiac aldosterone levels. (2) Spironolactone administration inhibited LV remodeling and resulted in almost normalized LV geometry, as well as reversing altered cardiac gene expressions (ANP, BNP, type I and type III collagens) in AT1A-KO MI mice. These results suggest that aldosterone is produced via an Ang II-independent mechanism in hearts with MI and that it promotes cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and subsequent heart failure after MI.. Several regulators are known to stimulate aldosterone synthesis in the adrenal cortex, including Ang II, corticotropin, and plasma concentrations of Na+ and/or K+. Among these, Ang II is the primary physiological regulator because it is well known that blockade of the renin-angiotensin system by ACE inhibitors or Ang II receptor ...

Accumulating evidence suggests that the nongenomic cardiovascular actions of aldosterone are produced by varied cellular pathways and mediated by a multitude of messenger systems including the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Considering the involvement of the oxidative and nitrosative stress in the pathways leading to the activation of the angiotensin - aldosterone system, in the current study we tried to evaluate the functional interactions between aldosterone, angiotensin II and antioxidants in isolated vascular smooth muscle of aortic rings from rats. Our data provide additional arguments that the nongenomic actions of aldosterone on aortic smooth muscle cells of rats are a question of cross-talk and balance between its rapid vasoconstrictor and vasodilator effects, as result of the activation of reactive oxygen species in the first case and of nitrogen species in the second. In this way, it seems that at low ambient oxidative stress, aldosterone promotes nitric oxide (NO) production ...

The toxic effects of aldosterone on the vasculature, and in particular on the endothelial layer, have been proposed as having an important role in the cardiovascular pathology observed in mineralocorticoid-excess states. In order to characterize the genomic molecular mechanisms driving the aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction, we performed an expression microarray on transcripts obtained from both human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human coronary artery endothelial cells stimulated with 10 - 7 M aldosterone for 18 h. The results were then subjected to qRT-PCR confirmation, also including a group of genes known to be involved in the control of the endothelial function or previously described as regulated by aldosterone. The state of activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor was investigated by means of a luciferase-reporter assay using a plasmid encoding a mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid-sensitive promoter. Aldosterone did not determine any significant change in gene ...

JCI - Chemogenetic activation of adrenocortical Gq signaling causes hyperaldosteronism and disrupts functional zonationJCI - Chemogenetic activation of adrenocortical Gq signaling causes hyperaldosteronism and disrupts functional zonation
The mineralocorticoid aldosterone is produced in the adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) under the control of the renin-angiotensin II (AngII) system. Primary aldosteronism (PA) results from renin-independent production of aldosterone and is a common cause of hypertension. PA is caused by dysregulated localization of the enzyme aldosterone synthase (Cyp11b2), which is normally restricted to the ZG. Cyp11b2 transcription and aldosterone production are predominantly regulated by AngII activation of the Gq signaling pathway. Here, we report the generation of transgenic mice with Gq-coupled designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) specifically in the adrenal cortex. We show that adrenal-wide ligand activation of Gq DREADD receptors triggered disorganization of adrenal functional zonation, with induction of Cyp11b2 in glucocorticoid-producing zona fasciculata cells. This result was consistent with increased renin-independent aldosterone production and hypertension. All ...

Essential hypertension is seen as a contemporary public health challenge not only because of its high prevalence and variable treatment response but also because it represents a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the regulation of blood pressure, thus making the study of hypertension difficult and complex. Over recent years, with the advent of new molecular technologies, there has been an increasing interest in its genetic component. Alterations in the rate and pattern of adrenal steroid biosynthesis can contribute to blood pressure changes and its heritable component. In humans, mutations in the genes encoding aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), responsible for the final stages of aldosterone and cortisol production respectively, lead to rare monogenic disorders. Both, glucocorticoid remediable aldosteronism and 11β-hydroxylase deficiency are associated with mineralocorticoid hypertension. More subtle ...

1. The effect of 5 consecutive days of hill walking on electrolyte balance, fluid homeostasis, plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration was studied in five male subjects.. 2. The 5-day exercise period was preceded by a 4-day control period and followed by a 4-day recovery period. Throughout the 13-day study subjects ate a fixed diet.. 3. After 5 days of exercise subjects had retained a mean of 264 mmol (sd 85) of sodium. Plasma sodium concentration remained constant at 142.0 mmol/l (sd 5.4). This indicates an expansion of the extracellular space by 1.84 litres.. 4. By the end of the exercise period there was a positive water balance of about 0.9 litre. Thus there was a net movement of 0.94 litre of fluid from the intracellular to the extracellular space.. 5. Packed cell volume decreased from a mean of 43.5% to 37.9% after 5 days of exercise, indicating that about 0.9 litre of the extracellular fluid entered the vascular compartment. The remaining fluid may be responsible for ...

JCI - Macrolides selectively inhibit mutant KCNJ5 potassium channels that cause aldosterone-producing adenomaJCI - Macrolides selectively inhibit mutant KCNJ5 potassium channels that cause aldosterone-producing adenoma
Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are benign tumors of the adrenal gland that constitutively produce the salt-retaining steroid hormone aldosterone and cause millions of cases of severe hypertension worldwide. Either of 2 somatic mutations in the potassium channel KCNJ5 (G151R and L168R, hereafter referred to as KCNJ5MUT) in adrenocortical cells account for half of APAs worldwide. These mutations alter channel selectivity to allow abnormal Na+ conductance, resulting in membrane depolarization, calcium influx, aldosterone production, and cell proliferation. Because APA diagnosis requires a difficult invasive procedure, patients often remain undiagnosed and inadequately treated. Inhibitors of KCNJ5MUT could allow noninvasive diagnosis and therapy of APAs carrying KCNJ5 mutations. Here, we developed a high-throughput screen for rescue of KCNJ5MUT-induced lethality and identified a series of macrolide antibiotics, including roxithromycin, that potently inhibit KCNJ5MUT, but not KCNJ5WT. ...

The response of plasma aldosterone (PA) and plasma renin activity (PRA) to ACTH stimulation (0.25 mg Tetracosactide infusion/10 h) and to insulin-induced hypoglycemia (0.1 U/kg b.w.) has been studied in 34 essential hypertensive (EH) patients. Corticotrophin stimulation increases significantly PA, the percent increase being higher in normal PRA EH patients than in controls but comparable to controls in low PRA EH patients. PRA shows a slight and transient elevation. A significant increase in PA is observed also during the insulin test, but the percent increase is lower than that under ACTH stimulation. The possibility that aldosterone is involved, under severe and frequent stress, in the genesis of essential hypertension is discussed.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common disorder. The underlying cause of hypertension is, as yet, unidentified. Many researchers believe an expansion of blood volume precedes the rise in blood pressure. Aldosterone, an important regulator of blood volume, is produced in the outermost layer of the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone promotes the reabsorption of sodium ions (Na+) from kidney tubules back into the blood. Since water is reabsorbed with sodium, aldosterone increases blood volume and blood pressure. The role of aldosterone in hypertension has been studied using receptor blocking agents, or complete adrenalectomy, (removal of both adrenal glands), with each method resulting in confounding variables. A surgically-induced low-aldosterone state has been developed in this laboratory. The process involves removal of one adrenal gland, and cryo-destruction of the outer layer of the remaining gland. This procedure markedly reduces aldosterone levels, while maintaining the production of the other

Bovine Metabolome Database: Showing metabocard for Aldosterone (BMDB0000037)
Aldosterone, also known as aldocorten or delta-aldosterone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 21-hydroxysteroids. These are steroids carrying a hydroxyl group at the 21-position of the steroid backbone. Aldosterone exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Aldosterone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans ...

Aldosterone is a major regulator of Na+-absorptive and K+-secretory processes in the distal segment of mammalian colon. In this study, the distribution of aldosterone-sensitive cell types in isolated rat distal colon was determined using site-directed intracellular microelectrodes, specific Na+- and K+-channel blockers, and aldosterone-receptor binding techniques. Electrophysiological data indicated that aldosterone induced parallel apical membrane Na+ and K+ conductances, mainly in surface cells and to a significantly lesser degree in crypt cells. Scatchard analyses of aldosterone-receptor binding in cytosolic fractions revealed the maximum number of specific binding sites in whole mucosal homogenate and in the upper one-third and lower two-thirds of isolated crypt units to be 74.9 ± 2.0, 59.8 ± 2.4, and 59.3 ± 3.2 fmol/mg protein, respectively, indicating the presence of aldosterone receptors in the crypt cell population. We conclude that in rat distal colon aldosterone-induced Na+ and K+ ...

N2 - Obesity is a multifactorial disease associated with hypertension. In the obese population, the incidence of hypertension is high and resistant hypertension is commonly observed. Mechanisms to explain the resistance to current antihypertensive treatments are still poorly understood. Emerging knowledge of the role of aldosterone in controlling blood pressure in obesity may have therapeutic benefit.

Angiotensin II (AII) and K+ raise the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [(Ca2+]i) and stimulate aldosterone production in isolated bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells. The mechanisms leading to an elevation of [Ca2+]i were analysed with the fluorescent Ca2+ probe quin 2. (1) Whereas [Ca2+]i rose transiently and returned to basal values within 5 min in response to AII, the effect of K+ was sustained for at least 15 min. (2) AII released Ca2+ from intracellular stores, whereas the [Ca2+]i response to K+ depended solely on extracellular [Ca2+]. (3) When added after K+ stimulation, AII provoked a dramatic decrease in [Ca2+]i to below the resting value. The role of [Ca2+]i in stimulating steroidogenesis was determined by manipulating the concentration of this cation. (4) In a cell superfusion system, the aldosterone response to AII is biphasic. Suppressing the transient [Ca2+]i elevation triggered by AII resulted in the disappearance of the initial secretory peak, but the final production rate was ...

Angiotensin II effects on cyclic AMP production and steroid output were studied in a sensitive preparation of isolated rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. With increasing concentrations of angiotensin II logarithmic dose-response curves for aldosterone and cyclic AMP production were similar. The minimum effective dose (0.2nm) for stimulation of aldosterone production also significantly (P,0.001) increased cyclic AMP output. For both aldosterone and cyclic AMP production, the peptide hormone concentration eliciting maximal response (0.2μm) and the ED50 (median effective dose) values (1nm) were the same; this is consistent with cyclic AMP acting as an intracellular mediator for angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone production by glomerulosa cells. The angiotensin II antagonist [Sar1,Ala8]angiotensin II inhibited angiotensin II-stimulated corticosterone and aldosterone production in these cells. An equimolar concentration of antagonist halved the response to 20nm-angiotensin II, and complete inhibition ...

Zona glomerulosa - WikipediaZona glomerulosa - Wikipedia
In response to increased potassium levels, renin or decreased blood flow to the kidneys, cells of the zona glomerulosa produce and secrete the mineralocorticoid aldosterone into the blood as part of the renin-angiotensin system.[1] Although sustained production of aldosterone requires persistent calcium entry through low-voltage activated Ca2+ channels, isolated zona glomerulosa cells are considered nonexcitable, with recorded membrane voltages that are too hyperpolarized to permit Ca2+ channels entry.[2] However, mouse zona glomerulosa cells within adrenal slices spontaneously generate membrane potential oscillations of low periodicity; this innate electrical excitability of zona glomerulosa cells provides a platform for the production of a recurrent Ca2+ channels signal that can be controlled by angiotensin II and extracellular potassium, the 2 major regulators of aldosterone production.[2] Aldosterone regulates the bodys concentration of electrolytes, primarily sodium and potassium, by ...

Why has aldosterone become a target of therapy in heart failure? - StylesStar.Com ®Why has aldosterone become a target of therapy in heart failure? - StylesStar.Com ®
Historicallv, aldosterone was classified as a steroid hormone synthesized from the. I backbone cholesterol molecule in the. I mitochondria of the adrenal zona glomerulosa. Recent research has shown that it is produced in many extra-adrenal sites, including cardiovascular tissue. Since the adrenals contain only 1 to 2 pg aldosterone but secrete some 70 to 250 ,ig daily, yielding plasma levels of 5 to 100 pg/mL, it follows that their function is rapid aldosterone synthesis rather than storage. Over 85% of aldosterone is metabolized on first pass through the liver. Thus, its rate of degradation is dependent on hepatic blood flow and its extraction by parenchymal cells, each of which may be impaired in congestive heart failure (CHF).. The main stimuli to aldosterone synthesis by the zona glomerulosa cells are:. Angiotensin-II, the most potent stimulus, acts via AT-II type 1 (ATj) receptors; it also promotes growth of the zona glomerulosa.. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), a stress hormone: the ...

Adrenal cortex - WikipediaAdrenal cortex - Wikipedia
The outermost layer, the zona glomerulosa is the main site for the production of aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid. The synthesis and secretion of aldosterone are mainly regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The zona glomerulosa cells express a specific enzyme aldosterone synthase (also known as CYP11B2).[5][6] Aldosterone is largely responsible for the long-term regulation of blood pressure.[7] Aldosterones effects are on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the kidney where it causes increased reabsorption of sodium and increased excretion of both potassium (by principal cells) and hydrogen ions (by intercalated cells of the collecting duct).[7] Sodium retention is also a response of the distal colon, and sweat glands to aldosterone receptor stimulation. Although sustained production of aldosterone requires persistent calcium entry through low-voltage activated Ca2+ channels, isolated zona glomerulosa cells are considered nonexcitable, with recorded membrane ...

This is the first report of the effects of pharmacologic inhibition of aldosterone synthase in healthy human subjects. Results obtained with the ASI LCI699 indicate that the hormonal and renal effects of blocking the aldosterone pathway in healthy animals translate to humans. In healthy volunteers, once-daily oral dosing with LCI699 0.5 mg selectively reduced plasma and urinary aldosterone, which was associated with natriuresis and an increase in PRA. LCI699 prolonged survival in a rat disease model induced by ectopic overexpression of human renin and angiotensinogen, and was more effective than the MRA eplerenone in preventing cardiac and renal damage. These results support the therapeutic potential of inhibiting aldosterone synthase in diseases characterized by excessive aldosterone production.. Characterization of LCI699 was performed using in vitro assays and in vivo models in the rat and monkey. LCI699 showed distinct differences between species; it was at least 200-fold less potent in ...

Aldosterone | Psychology Wiki | FandomAldosterone | Psychology Wiki | Fandom
The corticosteroids are synthesized from cholesterol within the adrenal cortex. Most steroidogenic reactions are catalysed by enzymes of the cytochrome P450 family. They are located within the mitochondria and require adrenodoxin as a cofactor (except 21-hydroxylase and 17α-hydroxylase). Aldosterone and corticosterone share the first part of their biosynthetic pathway. The last part is either mediated by the aldosterone synthase (for aldosterone) or by the 11β-hydroxylase (for corticosterone). These enzymes are nearly identical (they share 11β-hydroxylation and 18-hydroxylation functions). But aldosterone synthase is also able to perform a 18-oxidation. Moreover, aldosterone synthase is found within the zona glomerulosa at the outer edge of the adrenal cortex; 11β-hydroxylase is found in the zona fasciculata and reticularis. Note: aldosterone synthase is absent in other sections of the adrenal gland. ...

Phenotypic consequences of variation across the aldosterone synthase and 11-beta hydroxylase locus in a hypertensive cohort:...
BACKGROUND: Aldosterone is an important cardiovascular hormone; 15% of hypertensive subjects have alteration in aldosterone regulation, defined by a raised ratio of aldosterone to renin (ARR). Studies of the aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) have focused on a single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5promoter region (-344 C/T). In normotensive subjects, the T allele associates with raised levels of the 11-deoxysteroids, deoxycorticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol which are substrates for 11beta-hydroxylase, encoded by the adjacent and homologous gene, CYP11B1. We have speculated that this altered 11beta-hydroxylase efficiency leads to increased ACTH drive to the adrenal gland to maintain cortisol production and reported herein the association between the -344 C/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and adrenal steroid production in subjects with essential hypertension. METHODS: The CYP11B2-344 C/T polymorphism was genotyped and urinary excretion of adrenal steroid metabolites was measured (by GCMS) in 511

BACKGROUND: Cosyntropin and metoclopramide can affect the subtyping of primary aldosteronism when used with adrenal vein sampling by exerting hormone- and side-specific effects on cortisol and aldosterone secretion. We investigated how these stimuli affect the selectivity index, the relative aldosterone secretion index, and the lateralization index in consecutive primary aldosteronism patients submitted to adrenal vein sampling. METHODS: We recruited 171 patients; of these, 149 underwent adrenal vein sampling before and after stimulation with cosyntropin (250 µg intravenous bolus, n= 53, 73% with an aldosterone-producing adenoma) or with metoclopramide (10 mg intravenous bolus, n= 96, 65% aldosterone-producing adenoma), and 32 with an aldosterone-producing adenoma were investigated for the relative gene expression of dopamine, melanocortin 2, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 4 receptor with microarrays ...

ALDOSTERONE REGULATION OF SODIUM TRANSPORT IN THE KIDNEY - Oregon Health & Science UniversityALDOSTERONE REGULATION OF SODIUM TRANSPORT IN THE KIDNEY - Oregon Health & Science University
Aldosterone plays an important regulatory role in blood pressure control and electrolyte balance through actions initiated by mineralocorticoid receptors on gene transcription. Little is known, however, about the specific molecular basis of the hormones target genes that regulate sodium transport in the kidney collecting duct. Though subtractive hybridization techniques, a compelling target gene-a kinase- has been identified. This gene has been shown to be rapidly induced by aldosterone and to increase by seven-fold epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity. The five year plan detailed in this proposal seeks to clarify if this early response gene to aldosterone plays a critical role in the regulation of ENaC-mediated sodium transport in the kidney collecting duct (CD). The proposals methodology employs A6 CD-like cells grown on monolayer in a well-characterized system for the study of transcriptional regulation and of sodium transport. Corticosteroid- induced transcriptional regulation of the ...

Aldosterone induces a vascular inflammatory phenotype in the rat heart | Heart and Circulatory Physiology
In the present study, the effects of hyperaldosteronism on myocardial injury in the setting of a high-salt diet were examined. There were three major findings of the present study. First, the data indicate that aldosterone/salt treatment induces leukocyte infiltration and injury of coronary arteries with associated ischemic and necrotic lesions of the adjacent myocardium. Second, we have identified the myocardial expression and progressive upregulation of the proinflammatory molecules osteopontin, MCP-1, and COX-2 in response to aldosterone/salt treatment. Third, the expression of proinflammatory molecules was diminished and vascular and cardiac pathology abrogated by treatment with the selective aldosterone blocker eplerenone, implicating a role for mineralocorticoid receptor stimulation in aldosterone/salt-induced myocardial injury. Although vascular inflammation seems to be the initial effect induced by aldosterone/salt treatment with the elevated myocardial expression of inflammatory ...

N2 - Although aldosterone influences a variety of cellular processes through nongenomic mechanisms, the significance of nongenomic pathways for aldosterone-induced regulation of epithelial function is not understood. Recently, we demonstrated that aldosterone inhibits transepithelial HCO 3- absorption in the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) through a nongenomic pathway. This inhibition is mediated through a direct cellular action of aldosterone to inhibit the apical membrane NHE3 Na +/H+ exchanger. The present study was designed to identify the intracellular signaling pathway(s) responsible for this aldosteroneinduced transport regulation. In rat MTALs perfused in vitro, addition of 1 nM aldosterone to the bath decreased HCO3- absorption by 30%. This inhibition was ...

Hyperaldosteronism - WikipediaHyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia
Hyperaldosteronism, also aldosteronism, is a medical condition wherein too much aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands, which can lead to lowered levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia) and increased hydrogen ion excretion (alkalosis). This cause of mineralocorticoid excess is primary hyperaldosteronism reflecting excess production of aldosterone by adrenal zona glomerulosa. Bilateral micronodular hyperplasia is more common than unilateral adrenal adenoma. Play media It can be asymptomatic, but these symptoms may be present: Fatigue Headache High blood pressure Hypokalemia Hypernatraemia Hypomagnesemia Intermittent or temporary paralysis Muscle spasms Muscle weakness Numbness Polyuria Polydipsia Tingling Metabolic alkalosis The causes of primary hyperaldosteronism are adrenal hyperplasia and adrenal adenoma (Conns syndrome). These cause hyperplasia of aldosterone-producing cells of the adrenal cortex resulting in primary hyperaldosteronism. The causes of secondary ...

The main target receptor of aldosterone, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), is expressed in many cell types, including endothelial cells. Endothelial cell dysfunction is thought to be an initiating step contributing to cardiovascular disease and stroke; however the importance of MR expressed on endothelial cells in the brain is unknown. Here we have examined whether endothelial cell MR mediates cerebral vascular oxidative stress and brain inflammation during aldosterone excess. In ...

Aldosterone | iHealth Directory
Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex of then adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys. This hormone plays a crucial role in the way the kidneys maintain fluid levels in the body. Aldosterone is actually the principle hormone in a group of mineralocorticoids. The release of this hormone is partly regulated by corticotrophin, which is another hormone released by the pituitary gland. These releases influence the kidneys to regu¬late levels of sodium and potas¬sium in your circulatory system. Sodium and potassium have a major impact on blood pressure. This means that aldosterone plays a critical role in controlling blood pressure and the amount of electrolytes in the body.. When the adrenal glands produce sufficient amounts of aldosterone the kidneys will retain the proper balance of sodium and potassium. This hormone also affects the sweat glands and helps the body to preserve salt. When an insufficient amount of aldosterone hormone is present the ...

Role of renin and aldosterone in establishment of electrolyte balance in very low birthweight neonates | Meta
Urine sodium, potassium and chloride excretion, plasma renin activity (PRA) and urine aldosterone excretion (UAE) were measured in seven very low birthweight (VLBW) infants during the first 6 weeks after birth. Hyponatraemia was most common, and major changes in urine electrolyte excretion occurred, during the first 2 weeks. These changes in urine electrolyte excretion appeared to relate to improvement in distal tubular function. PRA did not correlate with urine excretion of either aldosterone or electrolytes. However, UAE correlated significantly with fractional sodium-potassium exchange in the distal tubule in a non-linear fashion (P less than 0.001) which suggested a threshold of aldosterone responsiveness between 70 and 100 nmol/24 h per 1.73 m2 UAE. We conclude that in VLBW infants the distal tubule can respond to aldosterone during the first 2-3 weeks, but that the threshold for responsiveness appears to be higher than it is in fullterm infants. ...

The captopril challenge test for diagnosing primary Aldosteronism in a Chinese populationThe captopril challenge test for diagnosing primary Aldosteronism in a Chinese population
Background |p|The Captopril challenge test (CCT) is an easy-conduct confirmatory test for diagnosing primary aldosteronism (PA). Guidelines show that plasma aldosterone is normally suppressed by captopril (> 30%) in primary hypertension (PH) and in healthy people. It is unclear whether this standard is applicable in Chinese subjects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the post-CCT efficacy of plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) suppression and determine the post-CCT aldosterone renin activity ratio (ARR) and PAC for PA diagnosis.|/p| Methods |p|We recruited 110 consecutive patients with PA, 163 with primary hypertension (PH), and 40 healthy volunteers (NC). The CCT was conducted in all patients. Total sodium intake was estimated from 24-h urinary excretions.

The present study demonstrates that in the TG (mREN2)27 rat model, local adrenal renin, and not circulating renin of renal origin, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of mineralocorticoid biosynthesis and secretion in response to salt restriction. The major finding of the present study is that the adrenal renin-angiotensin system regulates mineralocorticoid production through the AT1-angiotensin II receptor subtype. Our experiments also show that the mouse transgene and not the endogenous renin is involved in the regulation of aldosterone biosynthesis in the adrenals of TG rats.. The hypertensive rat strain TG (mREN2)27 is transgenic for murine Ren-2d gene, providing an excellent tool for the investigation of the function of renin-angiotensin systems in specific tissues. The transgene, in fact, is overexpressed particularly in extrarenal tissues, such as in the zona glomerulosa and fasciculata of the adrenal cortex.4 Since plasma steroid levels and urinary steroid concentrations markedly ...

The regulation of aldosterone synthesis by the adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) cell involves a complex interaction between a wide variety of endogenous stimulatory and inhibitory factors. Angiotensin II (AII), adrenocorticotropic hormone, and potassium ion are the primary secretagogues stimulating aldosterone synthesis (Quinn and Williams, 1988). Atrial natriuretic peptide and decreasing oxygen concentration have been identified as inhibitory factors (Campbell et al., 1985; Raff et al., 1989). Recent investigations in a number of laboratories have indicated the inhibitory effects of NO on the synthesis of various steroid hormones (Adams et al., 1992; Natarajan et al., 1997; Cymeryng et al., 1998). The mechanism of NO inhibition of aldosterone synthesis involves a direct interaction with the cytochrome P450 enzymes required for the multistep conversion of cholesterol into aldosterone (Hanke et al., 1998). The inhibitory effects of NO and the ability of nitric oxide to bind to the cytochrome P450 ...

Isolated aldosterone deficiency in two infants: Mistakes and dilemmas in the diagnosis and treatment of a rare diseaseIsolated aldosterone deficiency in two infants: Mistakes and dilemmas in the diagnosis and treatment of a rare disease
In this article, we describe the clinical picture and follow-up of two children diagnosed as suffering from pseudohypoaldosteronism when they were infants, and it was later recognized as isolated aldosterone deficiency in both. We illustrate the clinical differences between the two patients in terms of hydroelectrolytic balance, laboratory data and growth. In fact, while the growth and hematological parameters of the electrolytes and acid-base balance were normal in the first patient, and also without treatment with fludrocortisone thanks to very high renin activity, in the second patient, this treatment was vitally necessary to maintain normal growth and biochemical data. Despite the absence of a molecular analysis which could have confirmed this diagnosis, we believe that the description of the clinical evolution of these two cases from the moment of the incorrect diagnosis until the correct diagnosis and action taken, could be useful to highlight the extreme clinical variability of this

Background--Aldosterone may have adverse effects in the myocardium and vasculature. Treatment with an aldosterone antagonist reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure (HF) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. However, most patients with acute coronary syndrome do not have advanced HF. Among such patients, it is unknown whether aldosterone predicts cardiovascular risk. Methods and Results--To address this question, we examined data from the dal-OUTCOMES trial that compared the cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor dalcetrapib with placebo, beginning 4 to 12 weeks after an index acute coronary syndrome.

NLRP3 inflammasome mediates aldosterone-induced vascular damage - Enlighten: PublicationsNLRP3 inflammasome mediates aldosterone-induced vascular damage - Enlighten: Publications
Background: Inflammation is a key feature of aldosterone-induced vascular damage and dysfunction, but molecular mechanisms by which aldosterone triggers inflammation remain unclear. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a pivotal immune sensor that recognizes endogenous danger signals triggering sterile inflammation. Methods: We analyzed vascular function and inflammatory profile of wild-type (WT), NLRP3 knockout (NLRP3−/−), caspase-1 knockout (Casp-1−/−), and interleukin-1 receptor knockout (IL-1R−/−) mice treated with vehicle or aldosterone (600 µg·kg−1·d−1 for 14 days through osmotic mini-pump) while receiving 1% saline to drink. Results: Here, we show that NLRP3 inflammasome plays a central role in aldosterone-induced vascular dysfunction. Long-term infusion of aldosterone in mice resulted in elevation of plasma interleukin-1β levels and vascular abnormalities. Mice lacking the IL-1R or the inflammasome components NLRP3 and caspase-1 were protected from aldosterone-induced vascular ...

Spironolactone tablets 100 mg for sale express shipping online from uk
Spironolactone is a specific pharmacologic antagonist of aldosterone, acting primarily through competitive binding of receptors at the aldosterone-dependent sodium-potassium exchange site in the distal convoluted renal tubule. Spironolactone causes elevated amounts of sodium and water to be excreted, while potassium is kept. Spironolactone acts like a diuretic as well as an antihypertensive drug at this mechanism. It can be given alone or with other diuretic agents which act more proximally in the renal tubule. Aldosterone interacts with a cytoplasmic mineralocorticoid receptor to enhance the expression of the Na , K -ATPase and the Na channel included with a Na K transport in the distal tubule . Spironolactone bind to this mineralcorticoid receptor, blocking the actions of aldosterone on gene expression. Aldosterone is a hormone; its own primary job is to maintain sodium and excrete potassium from the kidneys.. ...

Primary aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism, also known as Conns syndrome, is considered one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension or high blood pressure. Primary aldosteronism occurs when your body produces too much aldosterone, which is a hormone that controls the sodium and patassium levels in the blood. When too much aldosterone is produced, the result is too much salt (sodium) and too little potassium in the blood, which leads to hypertension. Conns syndrome is more common in females than males and can occur at any age, but most commonly in people in their 30s and 40s. Symptoms may include muscle weakness, frequent urination, excessive thirst, or muscle twitching and cramps. Medical therapy is a good treatment option ...

BACKGROUND: Cosyntropin and metoclopramide can affect the subtyping of primary aldosteronism when used with adrenal vein sampling by exerting hormone- and side-specific effects on cortisol and aldosterone secretion. We investigated how these stimuli affect the selectivity index, the relative aldosterone secretion index, and the lateralization index in consecutive primary aldosteronism patients submitted to adrenal vein sampling. METHODS: We recruited 171 patients; of these, 149 underwent adrenal vein sampling before and after stimulation with cosyntropin (250 µg intravenous bolus, n= 53, 73% with an aldosterone-producing adenoma) or with metoclopramide (10 mg intravenous bolus, n= 96, 65% aldosterone-producing adenoma), and 32 with an aldosterone-producing adenoma were investigated for the relative gene expression of dopamine, melanocortin 2, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 4 receptor with microarrays ...
