Caveolin 1 Modulates Aldosterone‐Mediated Pathways of Glucose and Lipid Homeostasis
Background Overactivation of the aldosterone and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) pathway is associated with hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Caveolin 1 (cav‐1) is involved in glucose/lipid homeostasis and may modulate MR signaling. We investigated the interplay between cav‐1 and aldosterone signaling...

Summary: | Background
Overactivation of the aldosterone and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) pathway is associated with hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Caveolin 1 (cav‐1) is involved in glucose/lipid homeostasis and may modulate MR signaling. We investigated the interplay between cav‐1 and aldosterone signaling in modulating insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in cav‐1–null mice and humans with a prevalent variant in the CAV1 gene.
Methods and Results
In mouse studies, cav‐1 knockout mice exhibited higher levels of homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, cholesterol, and resistin and lower ratios of high‐ to low‐density lipoprotein (all P |
