<b>Purpose:</b> The aim of this study is to examine the effects of different kinds of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) on primary aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) mainly with <i>KCNJ5</i> mutations. Primary cultured APA cells were treated with different calcium channel blockers (L/T type CCB benidipine, T-type CCB mibefradil and L-type CCB nifedipine), and aldosterone secretagogues with or without nifedipine. Aldosterone level, aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) mRNA expression and cell proliferat ...[more]
