  2. 11-Deoxycortisol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11-Deoxycortisol

    11-Deoxycortisol in mammals has limited glucocorticoid activity, but it is the direct precursor of the major mammalian glucocorticoid, cortisol. [15] As a result, the level of 11-deoxycortisol is measured to diagnose impaired cortisol synthesis, to find out the enzyme deficiency that causes impairment along the pathway to cortisol, and to differentiate adrenal disorders.

  3. Loop diuretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_diuretic

    Loop diuretics are pharmacological agents that primarily inhibit the Na-K-Cl cotransporter located on the luminal membrane of cells along the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. [4] They are often used for the treatment of hypertension and edema secondary to congestive heart failure , liver cirrhosis , or chronic kidney disease .

  4. Epitestosterone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitestosterone

    Epitestosterone, or isotestosterone, also known as 17α-testosterone or as androst-4-en-17α-ol-3-one, is an endogenous steroid and an epimer of the androgen sex hormone testosterone. It is a weak competitive antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR) and a potent 5α-reductase inhibitor. [1] [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11β-Hydroxysteroid...

    11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD-11β or 11β-HSD) enzymes catalyze the conversion of inert 11 keto-products to active cortisol, or vice versa, [1] thus regulating the access of glucocorticoids to the steroid receptors. The human genome encodes two distinct HSD-11β isozymes (HSD-11β Type 1 and HSD-11β Type 2) on distinct genes.

  7. Na–K–Cl cotransporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na–K–Cl_cotransporter

    Furosemide and other loop diuretics inhibit the activity of NKCC2, thereby impairing sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The action of these loop diuretics also reduces potassium reabsorption through the NKCC2 cotransporter and consequently increases tubular flow rate which enhances potassium secretion and ...

  9. Diuretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diuretic

    The antihypertensive actions of some diuretics (thiazides and loop diuretics in particular) are independent of their diuretic effect. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] That is, the reduction in blood pressure is not due to decreased blood volume resulting from increased urine production , but occurs through other mechanisms and at lower doses than that required to ...
