A case of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency.

Clinical and experimental reproductive medicine

Kim SM, Rhee JH.
PMID: 26161337
Clin Exp Reprod Med. 2015 Jun;42(2):72-6. doi: 10.5653/cerm.2015.42.2.72. Epub 2015 Jun 30.

17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase are enzymes encoded by the CYP17A1 gene and are required for the synthesis of sex steroids and cortisol. In 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, there are low blood levels of estrogens, androgens, and cortisol, and resultant compensatory increases in...

Effect of Chronic Blockade of the Kallikrein-Kinin System on the Development of Hypertension in Rats.

Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979)

Rhaleb NE, Yang XP, Nanba M, Shesely EG, Carretero OA.
PMID: 11208766
Hypertension. 2001 Jan;37(1):121-128. doi: 10.1161/01.hyp.37.1.121.

-The kallikrein-kininogen-kinin system is an important vasodilator and vasodepressor component of the cardiovascular system. Acting mainly through B(2) receptors, kinins may counterbalance the pressor effect of angiotensin II, salt, and mineralocorticoids plus salt. Using rats lacking the bradykinin precursors...

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Blocker Protects against Podocyte-Dependent Glomerulosclerosis.

Nephron extra

Takagi N, Tanizawa T, Kon V, Fogo AB, Ichikawa I, Ma J.

Nephron Extra. 2012 Jan;2(1):17-26. doi: 10.1159/000334961. Epub 2012 Jan 31.

BACKGROUND: We previously showed that angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1) blocker (ARB) attenuates glomerular injury in Nphs1-hCD25 (NEP25) transgenic mice, a model of selective podocyte injury. However, subsequent studies in NEP25 mice with podocyte-specific deficiency of AT1 revealed that...

Case reports in endocrinology

Bowden SA, Cozzi C, Hickey SE, Thrush DL, Astbury C, Nuthakki S.

Case Rep Endocrinol. 2013;2013:524647. doi: 10.1155/2013/524647. Epub 2013 Dec 19.

Type 1 pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA1) is a salt wasting syndrome caused by renal resistance to aldosterone. Primary renal PHA1 or autosomal dominant PHA1 is caused by mutations in mineralocorticoids receptor gene (NR3C2), while secondary PHA1 is frequently associated with urinary...

OBJECTIVE: To recognize that benign adrenal adenomas can co-secrete excess aldosterone and cortisol, which can change clinical management.METHODS: We reviewed the clinical and histological features of an adrenal tumor co-secreting aldosterone and cortisol in a patient. Biochemical testing as...
