Upregulation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-Ouabain System in the Brain Is the Core Mechanism in the Genesis of All Types of Hypertension
Table 3
A list of secondary hypertension, supposedly caused by direct central actions of angiotensin II or mineralocorticoid.
| Angiotensin II | | Renovascular hypertension, aortic coarctation, renin-producing tumor, and pheochromocytoma | |
| Mineralocorticoids | | Aldosterone; primary aldosteronism, idiopathic hyperaldosteronism, renovascular hypertension, and pheochromocytoma | | Other mineralocorticoids; 17a-hydroxylase deficiency, 11b-hydroxylase deficiency, apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome, and deoxycorticosterone-producing tumor | |
