HSD2 neurons are evolutionarily conserved and required for aldosterone-induced salt appetite
2024-04-28
Abstract excerpt
Excessive aldosterone production increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and death. Aldosterone increases both sodium retention and sodium consumption, and increased sodium consumption predicts end-organ damage in patients with aldosteronism. Preventing this increase may improve outcomes, but the behavioral mechanisms of aldosterone-induced sodium appetite remain unclear. In rodents, we identified a...
