“The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), MAO-A, casein kinase 2 and voltage dependent potassium mRNA's, but not dynein mRNA, were rapidly downregulated in vivo after corticosterone administration in hippocampal subregions.”
“CONCLUSION It is speculated that excessive co ticosterone ma y hurt the hippocampal neurons via its effects on the pot assium cu rrents of rat hippocampal cells.”

“Formation of aldosterone, corticosterone , cortisol and cortisone of labelled cholesterol in the dispersed adrenocorticocytes significantly intensifies at high potassium concentrations in the incubation medium.”
“ Elevated potassium (K+) enhanced the secretory rates of aldosterone and corticosterone in fetal animals, while increasing only aldosterone secretion in non-pregnant rabbits.”
