Aldosterone stimulates Na + and water reabsorption from the gut, salivary and sweat glands in exchange for K +. Aldosterone stimulates secretion of H + via the H+/ATPase in the intercalated cells of the cortical collecting tubules; Aldosterone upregulates expression of NCC in the distal convoluted tubule chronically and its activity acutely.

OS X El Capitan (/ ɛ l ˌ k æ p ɪ ˈ t ɑː n / el KAP-i-TAHN) (version 10.11) is the twelfth major release of macOS (named OS X at the time of El Capitan's release), Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh.
In physiology, aldosterone escape is a term that has been used to refer to two distinct phenomena involving aldosterone that are exactly opposite each other: Escape from the sodium -retaining effects of excess aldosterone (or other mineralocorticoids ) in primary hyperaldosteronism , manifested by volume and/or pressure natriuresis .
The outermost layer, the zona glomerulosa is the main site for the production of aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid. The synthesis and secretion of aldosterone are mainly regulated by the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. The zona glomerulosa cells express a specific enzyme aldosterone synthase (also known as CYP11B2).
Membrane mineralocorticoid receptors (mMRs) or membrane aldosterone receptors are a group of receptors which bind and are activated by mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Unlike the classical nuclear mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), which mediates its effects via genomic mechanisms, mMRs are cell surface receptors which rapidly ...
Lorundrostat (developmental name MLS 101) is an aldosterone synthase inhibitor developed by Mineralys Therapeutics for high blood pressure. In clinical trials as an add-on medication for people with uncontrolled hypertension, decreased renin and elevated aldosterone it significantly reduced blood pressure. Hyperkalemia occurred in some trial ...
The internal codenames of Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2 are big cats. In Mac OS X 10.2, the internal codename "Jaguar" was used as a public name, and, for subsequent Mac OS X releases, big cat names were used as public names through until OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", and wine names were used as internal codenames through until OS X 10.10 "Syrah".
Both aldosterone and cortisol have a similar affinity for the mineralocorticoid receptor; however, there is vastly more cortisol in circulation than aldosterone. To prevent overstimulation of the mineralocorticoid receptor by cortisol, HSD-11βs convert the biologically active cortisol to the inactive cortisone, which can no longer bind the ...
