Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) is characterized by hypertension with excessive production of aldosterone, potassium loss, and suppression of the renin-angiotensin system. We compared activity of aldosterone synthase and expression of CYP11B2 messenger RNA (mRNA) in mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) from patients with IHA to findings in leukocytes from patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma and normal...
