Should not change hypertension management; leaves open ET-1's role in aldosterone excess during endothelial injury.
Does endothelin-1 bind to cultured calf adrenal zona glomerulosa cells and stimulate aldosterone secretion?
ET-1 acts as an independent stimulator of aldosterone secretion in cultured calf adrenal zona glomerulosa cells, suggesting a potential role in conditions with endothelial damage like malignant hypertension.
Cozza et al. (1989) studied this question.
