Examples of mineralocorticoid
mineralocorticoid
Role of mineralocorticoid receptors on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis in humans.

Mineralocorticoid receptor-mediated inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in aged humans.
From the nature.com
The protein, called a mineralocorticoid receptor, signals the body to absorb sodium and water into the bloodstream.

It also binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, but has no relevant affinity to the estrogen, androgen and mineralocorticoid receptors.

Hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal hyperactivity in human aging is partially refractory to stimulation by mineralocorticoid receptor blockade.

The classic example, though, is Joe Thornton's work on the step-by-step evolution of mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors from an ancestral receptor.

Conversely, ACTH release is increased in ageing individuals after serotonin-receptor 1A stimulation in women and after mineralocorticoid receptor blockade in men.
From the nature.com
It has only weak glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid potencies in humans and is important mainly as an intermediate in the steroidogenic pathway from pregnenolone to aldosterone.

- Hormone that is one of the steroids of the adrenal cortex that influences the metabolism of sodium and potassium
- Mineralocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones characterised by their similarity to aldosterone and their influence on salt and water balances.
- (mineralocorticoids) A group of steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex that are important in maintaining electrolyte balance.
- (mineralocorticoids) any of the group of corticosteroids, principally aldosterone, predominately involved in the regulation of electrolyte and water balance through their effect on ion transport in epithelial cells of the renal tubules.
- (mineralocorticoids) regulate the balance between sodium and potassium.
- A steroid hormone, like aldosterone, that regulates the excretion of salt, potassium, and water.
