Aldosterone Receptor Antagonists (ARAs) are a class of drugs that are used to inhibit the action of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates sodium
There are two types of potassium-sparing diuretics: aldosterone antagonists or drugs acting independently of aldosterone. Spironolactone and eplerenone are aldosterone antagonists, thereby inhibiting Na reabsorption and K loss through the blockade of aldosterone receptors in the DCT; these drugs are secreted from the peritubular capillaries.

As their name suggests, these drugs inhibit aldosterone receptors located in ACE Inhibitors; Aldosterone Receptor Blockers (Spironolactone
Aldosterone is the major natural mineralocorticoid in humans and there are two major classes of medications targeting the actions of mineralocorticoids: mineralocorticoid-receptor agonists, which mimic the role of aldosterone; and mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists, that block the action of aldosterone. Alright, but first things first.
Aldosterone receptor antagonists are a class of drugs which block the effects of aldosterone. Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid hormone in the body.
