“Thus, in primary aldosteronism adrenal changes induced by chronic spironolactone administration are probably a major cause for incorrect differentiation between adenoma and hyperplasia by adrenal scintigraphy.”
“There was a significant correlation between the fall in blood pressure during spironolactone treatment and after adrenal surgery though levels were generally slightly lower during the former therapy.”
“ Adrenal renin was up-regulated in 5/6 nephrectomy and further stimulated with spironolactone , possibly serving as a stimulus for the adrenal aldosterone synthesis.”
“Preincubation of adrenal cells with SL or 7 alpha-thio-SL caused time-dependent and concentration-dependent decreases in subsequent ACTH-stimulated cortisol production.”
