Cover Story: Mineralocorticoid receptors play an important role in regulating renal sodium handling and blood pressure. Recent studies suggest that mineralocorticoid receptors also exist in tissues outside the kidney, including vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Risk factors, including excessive salt intake/salt sensitivity, hypertension, and obesity, can lead to the activation of vascular mineralocorticoid receptors to promote inflammation, oxidative stress, remodeling, and fibrosis, as well as cardiovascular stiffening and microcirculatory impairment. These pathophysiological changes are associated with a diminished ability of insulin to initiate appropriate intracellular signaling events, resulting in a reduced glucose uptake within the microcirculation and related vascular insulin resistance. View this paper

  • Alexander V. Bogachev

22 August 2022

Membrane pyrophosphatases (mPPases) found in plant vacuoles and some prokaryotes and protists are ancient cation pumps that couple pyrophosphate hydrolysis with the H+ and/or Na+ transport out of the cytoplasm. Because this function is reversible, mP...
