Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor for the antidiabetic agent thiazolidinedione, which exerts various physiological activities, independent of lowering blood glucose. However, the role of PPARγ in aldosterone production has not been clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of PPARγ on aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) expression and aldosterone...
