Table 3 Ear and blood expression of mineralocorticoid receptor
| Organ | Specie | Cellular location | Functional role |
| Inner ear[26] | Rat | Marginal cells of the stria vascularis and spiral ganglion neurons | Regulates endolymph homeostasis by controlling Na+/K+-ATPase activity |
| Inner ear[27,28] | Guinea pig | Lateral wall of the cochlea basal turn and the ampullae of the semicircular canals | ND |
| Inner ear[29] | Mouse | Ampulla epithelial cells of semicircular canal | Expressed functional MR and 11β-HSD2; promoted Na+ absorption and K+ secretion through the IsK/KvLQT1 channel |
| Blood[30-33] | Human | Mononuclear leukocytes | Intracellular Na+/K+ balance |
| Induces oxidative stress (↑ p22phox); and upregulates PAI-1 expression | |||
| Induces trained immunity |
