• Angiotensin receptor [r]: Cell surface proteins that bind angiotensins and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. ^[e]
• Angiotensin [r]: Oligopeptides which are important in the regulation of blood pressure (vasoconstriction) and fluid homeostasis via the renin-angiotensin system. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. ^[e]
• Ascites [r]: Accumulation of serous fluids in the space between the tissues and organs of the abdominal cavity. ^[e]
• Corticosteroid [r]: Steroid hormones mainly produced by the adrenal cortex. ^[e]
• Drugs banned from the Olympics [r]: Substances prohibited for use by athletes prior to, and during competing in the Olympics. ^[e]
• Eplerenone [r]: An aldosterone receptor agonist, similar to spironolactone. ^[e]
• Fludrocortisone [r]: A synthetic steroid used therapeutically to increase blood pressure by lowering the amount of salt the body excretes. ^[e]
• Heart failure [r]: Defective cardiac filling and/or impaired contraction and emptying, resulting in the heart's inability to pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of the body tissues or to be able to do so only with an elevated filling pressure. ^[e]
• Hormone [r]: A chemical director of biological activity that travels through some portion of the body as a messenger. ^[e]
• Hypertension [r]: A multisystem disease whose hallmark is the elevation of blood pressure. ^[e]
• Ketoconazole [r]: Azole-based antifungal drug. ^[e]
• List of organic compounds [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Renin-angiotensin system [r]: A blood pressure regulating system of interacting components that include renin; angiotensinogen; angiotensin converting enzyme; angiotensin I; angiotensin II; and angiotensinase. ^[e]
• Salt and health [r]: Article describing health effects of salt (sodium chloride) in the diet, giving governments' recommendations for consumption. ^[e]
• Spironolactone [r]: A steroid derivative and antiandrogen, that blocks the action of aldosterone, and used as a diuretic primarily in the treatment of hypertension. ^[e]
• Steroid [r]: Hormone group that controls metabolism, catabolism, growth, electrolyte balance and sexual characteristics. ^[e]
