Abstract excerpt
Using in vitro and in vivo methods, we have demonstrated increased sensitivity of adrenocortical steroidogenesis to ACTH in Milan hypertensive (MHS) compared with normotensive (MNS) rats and have investigated whether this is caused by mutations of steroidogenic enzymes. Genes encoding aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and 11beta-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) in MHS and MNS have been cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide 752 (G)...
