| The AncCR receptor created in this way was found to respond well not only to DOC but also to aldosterone and to a lesser extent to cortisol. |
| The mechanism for this benefit is most likely a blockade of aldosterone receptors. |
| The hypotensive response to captopril is accompanied by a decrease in plasma aldosterone and angiotensin II levels and an increase in plasma renin levels. |
| Deficiency of aldosterone allows a steady loss of sodium in the urine, causing a fall in blood pressure that may result in fainting. |
| The greatest cause is probably due to lower production of hormones such as renin, angiotensin and aldosterone, caused by the increased stress. |
| These hormones include adrenaline, norepinephrine, aldosterone and corticosteroids. |
