Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), which cause 31% of all global deaths, are one of the greatest public health challenges. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), as a key nuclear transcription factor, is an important drug target for the treatment of CMDs. It is known that MR is expressed in almost all tissues and organs involved in cardiovascular homeostasis, including immune tissue, adipose tissue, brain, heart, kidney, and blood vessels. In the pathophysiology of CMDs, MR exerts different functions in different tissues and cells. This review summarizes the roles of MR in various cell types and discusses the molecular mechanisms through which MR exerts it functions in CMDs.
