Q

The following statements are true:

b. Cortisone has affinity to mineralocorticoid receptros
c. 11 B hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency can cause hypertension
d. Angiotensin AT2 receptor activation cause increase in renin secretion

A

C; cortisol will not be converted to cortisone therefore there is increase in mineralocorticoid receptor activationl thus increase sodium retention, increase bp

AT2 receptor decrease renin secretion and vasodilation
