ABSTRACT
Endogenous ouabain (EO) is a recently found hormone that may be secreted from adrenal cortex. As an endogenous mammalian analogue of cardiac glycosides and an inhibitor of the sodium pump, it regulates the body fluid balance, urine sodium extraction and vasoconstrictive tone, and thus plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and some other cardiovascular disorders. This articke reviews its biological features, receptor and antibody, detection, effects on diseases and relationship with endothelial cells.
