High-potassium effects on adrenal angiotensin II sensitivity remain preclinical; leaves open translation to human aldosterone regulation or diet therapy.
Does a high potassium diet alter angiotensin II receptor binding and aldosterone production in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells?
A high potassium diet modulates the sensitivity of aldosterone secretory response to angiotensin II by altering angiotensin II receptor content and affinity in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells.
