1. Classic and current concepts in adrenal steroidogenesis: a reappraisal
ABSTRACT Adrenal steroid biosynthesis and its related pathology are constant evolving disciplines. In this paper, we review classic and current concepts of adrenal steroidogenesis, plus control mechanisms of steroid pathways, distribution of unique enzymes and cofactors, and major steroid families. We highlight the presence of a “mineralocorticoid (MC) pat

2. Effect of spironolactone on the progression of coronary calcification in peritoneal dialysis patients: a pilot study
RESUMO Introdução: Existem evidências de que a aldosterona exerça um papel na patogênese da calcificação vascular. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da espironolactona, um antagonista do receptor mineralocorticoide, na progressão da calcificação coronariana (CC) de pacientes em diálise peritoneal, e identificar os fatores envolvidos ne

3. Congenital hyperreninemic hypoaldosteronism due to aldosterone synthase deficiency type I in a Portuguese patient – Case report and review of literature
SUMMARY Hyperreninemic hypoaldosteronism due to aldosterone synthase (AS) deficiency is a rare condition typically presenting as salt-wasting syndrome in the neonatal period. A one-month-old Portuguese boy born to non-consanguineous parents was examined for feeding difficulties and poor weight gain. A laboratory workup revealed severe hyponatremia, hyperkali

4. Diagnosis and management of primary aldosteronism
ABSTRACT Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common form of secondary hypertension (HTN), with an estimated prevalence of 4% of hypertensive patients in primary care and around 10% of referred patients. Patients with PA have higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than age- and sex-matched patients with essential HTN and the same degree of blood pre

5. Influence of antihypertensive drugs on aortic and coronary effects of Ang-(1-7) in pressure-overloaded rats
This study investigated the influence of antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs), voltage-gated L-type calcium channel blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), on the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] on aorta and coronary arteries from pressure-overloaded rats.

6. Mineralocorticoid replacement during infancy for salt wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency
OBJECTIVE: The protocols for glucocorticoid replacement in children with salt wasting 21-hydroxylase deficiency are well established; however, the current recommendation for mineralocorticoid replacement is general and suggests individualized dose adjustments. This study aims to retrospectively review the 9-∝-fludrocortisone dose regimen in salt wasting 21

7. Estresse precoce e alterações do eixo hipotálamo-pituitária-adrenal (HPA) na depressão. / Early Life Stress and alterations of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis in depression.
Introduction: Several studies suggest that stress in early stages of development can induce persistent changes in the ability of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis to respond to stress in adulthood. The imbalance of cortisol has been identified as a biological correlate of depressive disorders. These abnormalities seem to be related to changes in

8. Early life stress, HPA axis, and depression
Considerable evidence from various studies suggests a preeminent role for early adverse experiences in the development of psychopathology, especially depression. The most recent studies reviewed herein suggest that early life stressors are associated with an increased risk for mood disorders in adulthood. This review examines the emerging literature on the r

9. Role of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 renal activity in potassium homeostasis in rats with chronic renal failure
Aldosterone concentrations vary in advanced chronic renal failure (CRF). The isozyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (11β-HSD2), which confers aldosterone specificity for mineralocorticoid receptors in distal tubules and collecting ducts, has been reported to be decreased or normal in patients with renal diseases. Our objective was to determine the role

10. O bloqueio do receptor mineralocorticóide melhora a nefropatia pelo aumento da atividade da glicose-6-fosfato desidrogenase e redução do estresse oxidativo em ratos diabéticos hipertensos / Mineralocorticoid receptor blockade ameliorates nephropathy by increasing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and reducing oxidative stress in diabetic hypertensive rats
Foi demonstrado, em modelos de diabetes tipo 1 e tipo 2, que o uso de espironolactona (SPR), um antagonista do receptor mineralocorticóide, possui efeitos benéficos na lesão renal através de mecanismos anti-inflamatórios e antioxidantes. Os efeitos de um antagonista do receptor mineralocorticóide na nefropatia diabética (ND) parecem ser independentes

11. Interaction of the nuclear receptors with its ligands: Structural studies of the thyroid hormone receptor, mineralocorticoid receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor / Interações dos receptores nucleares com seus ligantes: Estudos estruturais do receptor de hormônio tireoidiano, do receptor de mineralocorticóide e do receptor ativado por proliferadores peroxissomais
Nuclear receptors are a superfamily of hormone-regulated transcriptional factors. This superfamily includes, for example, the receptor for thyroid hormone, estrogen, androgen, gluco and mineralocorticoid. In this work, we used structural biology and bioinformatic tools to study the interactions between some members of the nuclear receptor superfamily and its

12. Mineralocorticoid modulation of central angiotensin-induced neuronal activity, water intake and sodium appetite
Central angiotensin II (AngII) stimulates water and salt solution intake. Pretreatment with low-dose mineralocorticoid (DOCA) enhances this AngII-induced intake of salt solutions (the synergy theory) in Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats but not in Fischer rats. This response is mediated via the AT-1 receptor. Electrophysiological experiments using iontophoretic
