This review will highlight recent developments in mineralocorticoid receptor research which impact aldosterone-associated vascular and cardio-metabolic dysfunction. The mineralocorticoid receptor is also expressed in vascular smooth muscle and vascular endothelium, and contribute to vascular function and remodeling. Adipocyte-derived leptin stimulates aldosterone secretion, which may explain the observed link between obesity and hyperaldosteronism. Adipocyte mineralocorticoid receptor overexpression produces systemic changes consistent with metabolic syndrome. Ongoing studies with novel nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists may provide a novel treatment for diabetic nephropathy and heart failure in subjects with chronic kidney disease with reduced risk of hyperkalemia. Ongoing research continues to demonstrate novel roles of the vascular and adipocyte mineralocorticoid receptor function, which may explain the beneficial metabolic and vascular benefits of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
