Figure 2 Schematic representation of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR), glucocorticoid receptors (GR), and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2 (HSD2) expression along the mammalian nephron. The black zone represents the sites of high expression of GR, HSD2 (in rabbit, mouse, and humans), and MR [in rabbit; in the rat, the cortical portion of Henle's loop (tal) also expresses high levels of MR and HSD2]. Abbreviations are: pt, proximal tubule; dct, distal tubule; cd, collecting duct. Kidney International , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 2000 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
