Detailed explanation-1: -Aldosterone impairs glucose uptake in vitro in 3T3 adipocytes and is associated with reduced GLUT4 cell surface localization, and IRS1, P13K, and AKT phosphorylation (81; 82). Aldosterone may also impair insulin sensitivity by impairing normal adipocyte differentiation and function.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aldosterone is associated with glucose homeostasis and diabetes mellitus risk with graded associations among Chinese Americans and blacks, suggesting that pleiotropic effects of aldosterone may represent a modifiable mechanism in diabetes mellitus pathogenesis with potential racial/ethnic variation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Background Mechanistic studies suggest that aldosterone impairs glucose metabolism.
Detailed explanation-4: -Correct option: Aldosterone is not involved in sugar metabolism.
