AB  - Endocrine Hypertension, is, in a narrow sense, defined as adrenal hypertension, 
      including mainly pheochromocytoma, Cushing's syndrome, a syndrome of primary 
      aldosteronism and it's related mineralocorticoid excess disorders. In memory of a 
      great contribution to hypertensiology by the late Prof. Murakami, who was the 
      first author to write on pheochromocytoma in Japan, this paper is dedicated to 
      reviewing the current status of adrenal hypertension in Japan from the 
      epidemiological viewpoint, putting emphasis upon the clinical characteristics of 
      aged patients with adrenal hypertension. Secondly, some topics in the research 
      field of each adrenal hypertension are briefly introduced. Thirdly, our recent 
      data are presented, showing 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta-HSD) 
      mRNA expression in resistance vessels and decreased 11 beta-HSD activities in 
      vessels in SHR which supports the hypothesis that there might exist a subtype 
      identified as partial impairment of 11 beta-HSD in patients with essential 
      hypertension.
