Abstract
This study shows that MIT and DIT stimulate aldosterone secretion. This may be due to their tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitory property. Dopamine abolishes the stimulation. Prolonged MIT administration enhances the stimulation of aldosterone secretion and can cause hypokalemia. Volume expansion reverses the hyperaldosteronism. PRA and blood pressure do not change, even after prolonged MIT intake.
