Figure 5. Acutely isolated ex vivo adrenal zona glomerulosa cells from female rats have greater aldosterone (Aldo) responses to agonists than male rats. *P<0.001, values are means±SEM n=9 per group.

Compared with conventional AVS, segmental AVS with additional sampling in adrenal tributaries can detect aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) with higher sensitivity. Herein, we describe two cases ...

While symptoms can vary by subtype, the genitals of newborns with both forms of classic CAH can include: Salt-wasting CAH is a severe form of classic CAH in which the adrenal glands produce ...

Angiotensin II (Ang II) increases aldosterone secretion and adrenal blood flow. This concurrent increase in steroidogenesis and adrenal blood flow is not understood. We investigated the role of zona ...

With aldosteronism, one or both adrenal glands (small structures that sit atop the kidneys) overproduce a hormone called aldosterone, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Aldosterone sends sodium and ...

Impaired cortisol feedback causes adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels to rise, which stimulates the adrenal cortex to become hyperplastic. In 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), which is ...

We find that prolonged HPA activation enlarges the functional masses of the pituitary corticotrophs and adrenal cortex and that the recovery of these functional masses takes weeks after stress is ...

Start listening.” Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a pivotal role in maintaining the body’s electrolyte balance. It tells the kidneys to conserve sodium and water while ...
