Aldosterone and insulin signaling both play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of heart failure. This study demonstrates that aldosterone exerts biphasic activity on insulin signaling in cardiomyocytes. While the latter is detrimental through mineralocorticoid receptor pathway, the former is protective pathway through the transient acceleration of glucose metabolism. The present data indicate that there may be a physiological role of aldosterone synthesis activated in heart failure.
