Administration of 18-oxocortisol to rats induces a mineralocorticoid-type hypertension with hypokalemia, cardiac and renal enlargement and cardiovascular lesions. Administration of 18-oxocortisol to sheep also causes a rapid increase in blood pressure. However, the doses required for increasing blood pressure are high.Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
