Adrenal steroidogenesis in the guinea pig: effects of androgens.

abstract：:In comparison with the glucocorticoids cortisol and corticosterone, the mineralocorticoid aldosterone is a minority hormone of the mammalian adrenal cortex, and its proper function is dependent upon protective physiological mechanisms. These include a particular site of aldosterone synthesis in zona glomerulosa cells ...
