Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The molecular mechanisms of primary aldosteronism, a common cause of human hypertension, are unknown, but alterations of K(+) channels can play a key role. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to investigate the following: 1) the expression of the Twik-related acid-sensitive K(+) channels (TASK) in aldosterone producing adenomas (APAs); 2) the role of TASK-2 in aldosterone synthesis; and 3) the...
