Effect of 9 α-fluorohydrocortisone Acetate on Gastric and Salivary Electrolytes of Normal Fasting Subjects
… similar to those present in patients with primary aldosteronism by using large doses of 9α-FF. August and others found a change in salivary electrolytes when cortisone, desoxycortisone, or ACTH were given to normal subjects. In these cases as in primary aldosteronism there was a decreased …

Role of two genes, CACNA1D and CADM1, with common or rare mutations in aldosterone producing adenomas of the adrenal.
Primary aldosteronism (PA) accounts for 5-10% of all hypertension. One of the major causes of PA is sporadic formation of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs). These benign tumours develop in the cortical region of adrenal glands and autonomously secrete excessive amounts of aldosterone. This …

Exploring the role of molecular imaging in the diagnosis and management of primary adrenocortical disease
… management. These challenges are exemplified by primary aldosteronism (PA), a condition caused by autonomous aldosterone secretion from one or both adrenal glands, and which accounts for between 5–14% of all hypertension. Distinguishing between unilateral and bilateral disease is a key step in …

A functional study on novel genes involved in regulating aldosterone secretion in normal human zona glomerulosa and in aldosterone-producing adenomas
Primary aldosteronism is the most common secondary cause of hypertension with a prevalence of about 10%. About half of PA cases are caused by aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA). Two APA subtypes, ZG-like and ZF-like APAs, have been described, according to the histological resemblance to normal …

Studies of aldosterone renin ratio and genetic variation at the CYP11B1/CYP11B2 locus in human essential hypertension
… disorders. Both, glucocorticoid remediable aldosteronism and 11β-hydroxylase deficiency are associated with mineralocorticoid hypertension. More subtle but much more common genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are associated with more common intermediate …
