biological activity | Aldosterone are primary mineralocorticoids. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that is synthesized and secreted by the glomerular region (ZG) of the adrenal cortex in response to activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) or high potassium diet. Aldosterone activity depends on the binding and activation of cytoplasmic/nuclear mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) at the cellular level. |
Animal Model: | Forty male Wistar rats |
Dosage: | 1 mg/Kg (+1% NaCl) |
Administration: | i.h.; once daily for 3 weeks |
Result: | Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were significantly higher in aldosterone-salt-treated animals. |
