摘要: Abstract Aldosterone and cortisol are the major mineralocorticoid glucocorticoid produced by human adrenal. Circulating levels of angiotensin II potassium control adrenal production aldosterone, while is controlled mainly adrenocorticotropin. The capacity cortex to differentially produce aldosterone relies a large degree on expression synthase ( CYP11B2 ) 11β-hydroxylase CYP11B1 ). catalyzes final steps in biosynthesis expressed solely glomerulosa cortex, fasciculata/reticularis. zonal these two isozymes appears result from transcriptional regulation genes. Herein, recent progress defining cellular mechanisms that regulate transcription thus gland discussed.
