the specific effect of adrenalectomy on renal peripheral benzodiazepine receptor density , the lack of direct effect of aldosterone on [ 3h ] ro 5-4864 binding and the localization of the change in peripheral benzodiazepine receptor density to the renal cortex and outer stripe suggest that these changes may reflect an adaptation of the renal nephron ( possibly the distal convoluted tubule , intermediate tubule and/or the collecting duct ) to the loss of mineralocorticoid hormones .
