Popis: Adrenal aldosterone production is regulated by plasma angiotensin and potassium levels. Here the authors report that the neuropeptide substance P stimulates aldosterone production via neurokinin type 1 receptors (NK1R), and report a proof-of-concept placebo controlled clinical trial showing that a NK1R antagonist decreases aldosterone levels.
