Aldosterone and the Mineralocorticoid Receptor: Risk Factors for Cardiometabolic Disorders

Volume: 17, Issue: 7
Published: Jun 12, 2015
Abstract
Preclinical studies have convincingly demonstrated a role for the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in adipose tissue physiology. These studies show that increased MR activation causes adipocyte dysfunction leading to decreased production of insulin-sensitizing products and increased production of inflammatory factors, creating an environment conducive to metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Accumulating data also suggest that MR activation may...
