| 31. | It can also act on aldosterone, corticosterone and cortisol, to some extent.
|
| 32. | Aldosterone plays a central role in regulating blood pressure through its effects on the kidney.
|
| 33. | The primary mineralocorticoid is aldosterone, notable for an aldehyde group at the 18 position.
|
| 34. | This leads to increased Ca 2 + influx, which in turn triggers aldosterone production.
|
| 35. | This results in less StAR protein product and decreased levels of aldosterone and cortisol synthesis.
|
| 36. | The pathophysiological consequences of PHA are a result of abnormal increases in the hormone aldosterone.
|
| 37. | Aldosterone receptors are present on the epithelial cells of the distal nephron in the kidney.
|
| 38. | It is the inhibitor of aldosterone biosynthesis.
|
| 39. | When CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 are abnormally fused together, too much aldosterone synthase is produced.
|
| 40. | Aldosterone, probably acting through mineralocorticoid receptors, may positively influence neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
