毒理性
18-羟基皮质酮是皮质酮的一种衍生物。它是通过肾上腺球状带中的酶醛甾酮合成酶在合成醛甾酮过程中的一个中间产物。(维基百科)18-羟基皮质酮(18OHB)对盐皮质激素受体的亲和力较低,主要来源于皮质酮通过醛甾酮合成酶的转化,尽管少量可能由11β-羟基酶产生。由于钠的缺乏和血管紧张素II的输注导致醛甾酮合成增加时,18OHB的血清浓度也会增加。(A15449)在特定器官中积累的18-羟基皮质酮已被证明对机体有毒害作用。
18-Hydroxycorticosterone is a derivative of corticosterone. It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of aldosterone by the enzyme aldosterone synthase in the zona glomerulosa. (Wikipedia) 18-Hydroxycorticosterone (18OHB) has low affinity for the mineralocorticoid receptor and mainly originates from the conversion of corticosterone by the aldosterone synthase, although small amounts may be produced by the 11β-hydroxylase. Serum concentrations of 18OHB increase with increased aldosterone synthesis due to sodium depletion and angiotensin II infusion. (A15449) Accumulation of 18-hydroxycorticosterone in a given organ has been shown to be toxic for the body.
