Abstract:
Several genetic polymorphisms of the aldosterone synthase gene(CYP11B2),which may influence the plasma aldosterone levels,had been reported to influence the blood glucose levels.In addition to the effects of sodium()(and consequently water) resorption and potassium excretion(),aldosterone could be involved in the development and progression of diabetes and its chronic complications.This paper also discussed the therapeutic significance of aldosterone receptor antagonists on the occcurance of chronic diabetic complications.
