Aldosterone has been used:
- as a RPMI-1640 medium supplement for podocyte culture to test its pathogenicity in obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG)
- in combination with salt to induce renal injury in mice
- to stimulate primary liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and in the generation of hyperaldosteronism model in mice
The d-isomer of aldosterone is considered to be the biologically active isomer.
