The purpose of this study was to identify brain sites that may be sensitive to the adrenal steroid aldosterone. After a survey of the entire brain for mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) immunoreactivity, we discovered unique clusters of dense nuclear and perinuclear MR in a restricted distribution with
Excess activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is linked to human obese hypertension and to saltsensitive hypertension. Paradoxically, reduced SNS activity has been implicated as a contributor to obesity, particularly in animal models, and salt loading usually inhibits SNS activity. We have
