Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Hypertension, a prevalent cardiovascular risk, often involves dysregulated aldosterone and its interaction with the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Experimental designs in animal models and human cohorts have demonstrated a sex and age dependency of aldosterone secretion that expands our pathophysiologic understanding. OBJECTIVE: This study explores the genetic variation of NR3C2, which encodes MR, in...
