Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Overactivation of the aldosterone and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) pathway is associated with hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Caveolin 1 (cav-1) is involved in glucose/lipid homeostasis and may modulate MR signaling. We investigated the interplay between cav-1 and aldosterone signaling in modulating insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in cav-1-null mice and humans with a prevalent variant in the...
