Serum potassium may modulate aldosterone responsiveness in this rat model; leaves open translation to human adrenal disorders or therapy.
Does serum potassium modulate the aldosterone secretory response to angiotensin II in adrenal glomerulosa cells from nephrectomized rats?
The level of serum potassium directly regulates both the sensitivity and magnitude of the aldosterone secretory response to Angiotensin II in adrenal glomerulosa cells from nephrectomized rats.
