Outline of the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid pathways in steroidogenesis. Corticotropin boosts steroidogenesis including precursors of mineralocorticoids. Aldosterone secretion is predominantly controlled by the renin-angiotensin system. The analyzed corticosteroids are shown in red. HSD: Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; H: hydrolase; and L: lyase
