In consequence the new mineralocorticoid was named aldosterone (al-dos'ter-ohn).    From Wordnik.com.  [The Human Brain]

Aldosterone is also unusual, for a mineralocorticoid, in possessing an oxygen at carbon-n.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Human Brain]

In 1953, more than a decade after the discovery of four important glycocorticoids and two important mineralocorticoids, there came the rather surprising isolation of another mineralocorticoid.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Human Brain]

Why this should be we cannot yet tell, but this point of putting the oxygen on, then neutralizing it, results in a mineralocorticoid that is much more powerful than any of those in which the oxygen is absent in the first place.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Human Brain]

Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia arising from mutations of 11β-hydroxylase, the final enzyme in the glucocorticoid biosynthetic pathway, exhibit glucocorticoid deficiency, adrenal hyperplasia driven by unsuppressed hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal activity, and excess mineralocorticoid activity caused by the accumulation of deoxycorticosterone.    From Wordnik.com.  [Journal of Biological Chemistry current issue] Reference

Several other markers had DNA binding and / or transcription factor (TF) activity, including a calmodulin-binding TF (CAMTA1), a repressor of TF activity (DIP2A), a mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2), a member of the myc family (MYCN), and two homeobox genes.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
