    • Mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) in the hippocampus display an important role in the control of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA)-axis, mediating the “proactive”-feedback of glucocorticoids. Fludrocortisone (FC), a potent MR agonist, has been shown to decrease HPA activity through a mechanism placed at hippocampal level. In order to clarify the effects of MR agonism on HPA function in humans, we studied the effects of FC, in a dose-related manner, on both basal and CRH-stimulated HPA axis… CONTINUE READING
