Investigating a mineralocorticoid receptor-mediation of an ultra-short feedback loop regulating aldosterone production in humans
Background: Preclinical studies suggest a novel aldosterone regulation pathway: the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) on the adrenal cortex is a part of an MR-mediated ultra-short feedback loop regulating aldosterone production. Activation of MR on the adrenal decreases aldosterone; blockade of the MR increases aldostero...
