Steroidogenesis is strictly regulated at multiple levels, as produced steroid hormones are crucial to maintain physiological functions. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are key players in adrenal steroid hormone biosynthesis and function within short redox-chains in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. However, mechanisms

Immunoassays are antibody-based analytical methods for quantitative/qualitative analysis. Since the principle of immunoassays is based on specific antigen-antibody reaction, the assays have been utilized worldwide for diagnosis, pharmacokinetic studies by drug monitoring, and the quality control of commercially available products.

The mineralocorticoid aldosterone is an important regulator of blood pressure, volume, and electrolyte balance. However, excess aldosterone can be deleterious as a driver of vascular remodeling and tissue fibrosis associated with cardiometabolic diseases. Aldosterone synthase (AS) inhibitors (ASI) attenuate the
