Blood pressure increase by aldosterone was unaffected by endothelial MR deficiency.
Aldosterone increased cerebrovascular superoxide production capacity.
Endothelial cell MR-deficiency inhibited aldosterone-induced increase in superoxide.
Aldosterone increased brain mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
CCL7 and CCL8-not IL-1β-increases were prevented by endothelial MR deficiency.
