Article Synopsis
- - Macrophages are vital for maintaining specific functions and balance in the adrenal gland, particularly in regulating aldosterone production through their interactions with blood vessels.
- - The study reveals that the absence of the molecule VEGF-A in macrophages leads to changes in blood vessel structure, resulting in increased aldosterone secretion and associated health issues like high blood pressure.
- - Findings suggest that the communication between macrophages and endothelial cells is crucial for adrenal health and could have significant implications for understanding similar processes in other endocrine organs.
