Mineralocorticoid biosynthesis

Mineralocorticoid synthesis and metabolism, which produce adrenal steroid hormones from cholesterol. These hormones regulate sodium retention in the kidneys and are therefore essential in sodium balance, intravascular volume, and blood pressure [PMID:8839934]. The pathway knowledge depicted in this model stems from William Griffiths. Metabolic reactions currently without a Rhea ID have been added in bold to the pathway model.

矿物质皮质激素的合成与代谢，该过程将胆固醇转化为肾上腺类固醇激素。这些激素调节肾脏中的钠离子保留，对于维持钠平衡、血管内液体量和血压至关重要 [PMID:8839934]。本模型中描绘的途径知识源自威廉·格里菲斯。目前尚未获得Rhea ID的代谢反应已以粗体形式添加至途径模型。
