Primary aldosteronism is considered the commonest cause of secondary hypertension. In
affected individuals, aldosterone is produced in an at least partially autonomous fashion in …

Primary aldosteronism is the most common single cause of hypertension and is potentially
curable when only one adrenal gland is the culprit. The importance of primary aldosteronism …

The pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) plays a pivotal role in homeostasis and
stress response and is thus the major component of the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis …

Primary aldosteronism is characterized by at least partially autonomous production of the
adrenal steroid hormone aldosterone and is the most common cause of secondary …

Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are benign tumors of the adrenal gland that
constitutively produce the salt-retaining steroid hormone aldosterone and cause millions of …

TWIK-related acid-sensitive K+ (TASK) channels, including TASK-1, TASK-3, and TASK-5,
are important members of the two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channel family. TASK-5 is …

Hypertension, or elevated blood pressure, constitutes a major public health burden that
affects more than 1 billion people worldwide and contributes to~ 9 million deaths annually …

Primary aldosteronism is present in≈ 10% of hypertensives. We previously performed a
microarray assay on aldosterone-producing adenomas and their paired zona glomerulosa …

Concentrations of 26 elements (B, Na, Mg, P, S, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se,
Rb, Sr, Mo, Cd, Sb, Ba, Hg, Pb, U) in wild game meat from Austria were analysed using an …

Background: Ion channel mutations in calcium regulating genes strongly associate with
AngII (angiotensin II)-independent aldosterone production. Here, we used an established …
