| 11. | The primary mineralocorticoid is aldosterone, notable for an aldehyde group at the 18 position.
|
| 12. | Thus, there is no mineralocorticoid overproduction.
|
| 13. | It is a potent mineralocorticoid, with generally greater such activity than that of corticosterone.
|
| 14. | Aldosterone, probably acting through mineralocorticoid receptors, may positively influence neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
|
| 15. | Mineralocorticoids are corticosteroids that influence salt and water balances ( electrolyte balance and fluid balance ).
|
| 16. | These mineralocorticoids cross-react with the aldosterone receptor, activating it and raising blood pressure.
|
| 17. | Adrenocortical hormones are divided into three classes by function : mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens.
|
| 18. | The adrenal cortex produces three main types of steroid hormones : mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens.
|
| 19. | It produces decreased synthesis of both cortisol and sex steroids, with resulting increase in mineralocorticoid production.
|
| 20. | Clinical effects of this condition include overproduction of mineralocorticoids and deficiency of prenatal and pubertal sex steroids.
