Abstract
Aldosterone is a steroidal hormone with an important role in renal electrolyte homeostasis. In vitro studies (in renal cells) have showed the involvement of GPR30 and ERK1/2 signaling pathway in aldosterone rapid action; however, similar investigations were not performed in renal tissue (in vivo). Thus, this project aims to: 1) detect in rat kidney (in vivo) the gene expression of GPR30 a…
