Aldosterone-Mineralocorticoid Receptor: Cell Biology to Translational Medicine
<p>This book is an open access dissemination of the EU COST
Action ADMIRE in Aldosterone/Mineralocorticoid Receptor (MR) physiology and
pathophysiology. Aldosterone is the major hormone regulating blood pressure.
Alterations in blood levels of aldosterone and genetic mutations in the MR
receptor are major causes of hypertension and comorbidities. Many of the drugs
in clinical use, and in development for treating hypertension, target
aldosterone and MR actions in the kidney and cardiovascular system. The ADMIRE
book assembles review chapters from 16 European ADMIRE laboratories providing
the latest insights into mechanisms of aldosterone synthesis/secretion,
aldosterone/MR physiology and signaling, and the pathophysiological roles of
aldosterone/MR activation.</p><p><br></p><p>Edited by Brian Harvey. Scroll down to see individual book chapters.</p><br>
