Journal ArticleDOI

Central serous chorioretinopathy: Recent findings and new physiopathology hypothesis.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to recapitulate the clinical understanding of CSCR, with an emphasis on the most recent findings on epidemiology, risk factors, clinical and imaging diagnosis, and treatments options, and the novel mineralocorticoid pathway hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and expression of a novel pH-sensitive two pore domain K^+ channel from human kidney

TL;DR: In human and mouse, TASK-2 is mainly expressed in the kidney, where in situ hybridization shows that it is localized in cortical distal tubules and collecting ducts, suggesting that TASk-2 could play an important role in renal K+ transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mineralocorticoid receptor is involved in rat and human ocular chorioretinopathy

TL;DR: The results identify MR signaling as a pathway controlling choroidal vascular bed relaxation and provide a pathogenic link with human CSCR, which suggests that blockade of MR could be used therapeutically to reverse choroid vasculopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunohistochemical and biochemical evidence for a cardiovascular mineralocorticoid receptor

TL;DR: The results clearly demonstrate the presence of MRs in the cardiovascular system and supports the possibility of direct aldosterone actions in the heart and blood vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prerequisite for cardiac aldosterone action. Mineralocorticoid receptor and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the human heart.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MR is coexpressed with 11-HSD in human heart, which thus possesses the cellular machinery required for direct aldosterone action.
