UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006973	Hypertension	Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.	Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008901	Mineralocorticoids	A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS primarily associated with water and electrolyte balance. This is accomplished through the effect on ION TRANSPORT in renal tubules, resulting in retention of sodium and loss of potassium. Mineralocorticoid secretion is itself regulated by PLASMA VOLUME, serum potassium, and ANGIOTENSIN II.

D010946	Plants, Medicinal	Plants whose roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or other constituent parts possess therapeutic, tonic, purgative, curative or other pharmacologic attributes, when administered to man or animals.

D005938	Glucocorticoids	A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.

D006035	Glycyrrhiza	A genus of leguminous herbs or shrubs whose roots yield GLYCYRRHETINIC ACID and its derivative, CARBENOXOLONE.	Licorice,Glycyrrhiza glabra,Liquorice,Licorices,Liquorices

D006913	Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases	Enzymes of the oxidoreductase class that catalyze the dehydrogenation of hydroxysteroids. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 1.1.-.	Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenases, Hydroxysteroid
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014882	Water-Electrolyte Balance	The balance of fluid in the BODY FLUID COMPARTMENTS; total BODY WATER; BLOOD VOLUME; EXTRACELLULAR SPACE; INTRACELLULAR SPACE, maintained by processes in the body that regulate the intake and excretion of WATER and ELECTROLYTES, particularly SODIUM and POTASSIUM.

D042842	11-beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases	Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases that catalyzes the reversible conversion of CORTISOL to the inactive metabolite CORTISONE. Enzymes in this class can utilize either NAD or NADP as cofactors.	11 beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11B-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,Corticosteroid 11-Oxidoreductase,Corticosteroid 11-Reductase,Cortisone 11-Oxoreductase,11 Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11 beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11 beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases,11-Oxidoreductase, Corticosteroid,11-Oxoreductase, Cortisone,11-Reductase, Corticosteroid,11B Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,Corticosteroid 11 Oxidoreductase,Corticosteroid 11 Reductase,Cortisone 11 Oxoreductase,Dehydrogenase, 11 beta-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenase, 11-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenase, 11B-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenase, 11beta-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenases, 11-beta-Hydroxysteroid,beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, 11
