| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We here have first demonstrated that high glucose (D-glucose) stimulates aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) gene transcription and mRNA expression via the induction of transcription factor Nurr-1, and results in the increase of aldosterone secretion using human adrenocortical H295R cells. It is therefore suggested that high glucose levels in diabetic patients may promote hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetic nephropathy via the induction of aldosterone secretion.
