Myeloid Cell Glucocorticoid, Not Mineralocorticoid Receptor Signaling, Contributes to Salt-Sensitive Hypertension in Humans via Cortisol

Claude F. Albritton, Mert Demirci, Kit Neikirk…·Annet Kirabo

This study identifies glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling in myeloid cells as a key contributor to salt-sensitive hypertension (SSBP) through SGK1 and IsoLG pathways, distinct from mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) mechanisms.
