Mineralocorticoids
⏺️ A class of corticosteroids, which in turn are a class of steroid hormones.
⏺️Mineralocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex and influence salt and water balances (electrolyte balance and fluid balance).
⏺️The primary mineralocorticoid is aldosterone.
Glucocorticoids
⏺️A class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones.
⏺️Glucocorticoids are corticosteroids that bind to the glucocorticoid receptor that is present in almost every vertebrate animal cell.
