Description

18-Hydroxydeoxycorticosterone (18-OH-DOC) is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands. It is a precursor to aldosterone, a hormone that regulates blood pressure and electrolyte balance. 18-OH-DOC has been shown to have both mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid activity. It is also a potent vasoconstrictor and can contribute to the development of hypertension. 18-OH-DOC is studied because it is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of aldosterone and because it can have significant effects on blood pressure and cardiovascular function. Its synthesis is regulated by the renin-angiotensin system and can be increased in conditions such as hypertension and congestive heart failure.'
