Cortisol Secretion, Sensitivity, and Activity Are Associated With Hypertension in Postmenopausal Eucortisolemic Women

Abstract

In postmenopausal women without hypercortisolemia, hypertension is associated with GCS and GC peripheral activation. The number of possible consequences of cortisol excess (among patients with hypertension, T2D, and fragility FX) is associated with GCS, GC peripheral activation, and the prevalence of the N363S heterozygous variant.
