First edit in the sandbox. These little practice exercises will hopefully really help me get more comfortable. Also shouldn't have had such a lazy Saturday yesterday, could've had this done already haha.

Cushing's Disease, synonymous with hypercortisolism, involves overwhelming the cortisol-neutralizing ability of 11β-HSD2 with high concentrations of cortisol. This allows cortisol to outcompete aldosterone and bind to mineralocorticoid receptors, resulting in the activation of several pathways that increase blood pressure. (might be able to reuse this for drafting) YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE CITATION, JUST NEED ANOTHER ONE.
