At the crossroads of myocardial signaling: the role of Z-discs in intracellular signaling and cardiac function.

abstract：:Blocking brain mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) reduces the high circulating levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in heart failure (HF) rats. TNF-alpha and other proinflammatory cytokines activate neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of hypothalamus, including corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neur...
