Budesonide, but not dexamethasone, blunted the response of aldosterone to renin elevation by suppressing angiotensin converting enzyme upon high-altitude exposure
Introduction: Inhaled budesonide is a novel approach to prevent acute mountain sickness (AMS). However, its mechanism is not completely understood. We aimed to investigate the effects of budesonide and dexamethasone on renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in AMS prevention. Materials and methods: Da...
