Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid steroid hormone produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. [4][5] It is essential for sodium conservation in the kidney, salivary glands, sweat glands, and colon. [6] .

2025年2月1日 · Aldosterone, a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. Aldosterone serves as the principal regulator of the salt and water balance of the body and thus is categorized as a mineralocorticoid. It also has a small effect on …

Aldosterone is a pregnane-based steroidal hormone produced by the outer-section (zona glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, and acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney to cause the conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, increased water retention, and increased blood pressure.

2023年5月1日 · Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid steroid hormone that modulates activity directly and indirectly in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron which includes the late distal convoluted tubule, the connecting tubule, and the collecting duct system.

Aldosterone is the major mineralocorticoid in the human body controlling blood pressure and salt homeostasis. Overproduction of aldosterone leads to primary aldosteronism, which is the most common form of secondary hypertension with limited treatment options.

2024年6月19日 · Aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, exerts its effects primarily in the kidneys. The mechanism of action of aldosterone involves binding to mineralocorticoid receptors located on the cells in the distal tubules and …

Aldosterone is part of an elaborate group of linked hormones, enzymes, proteins and reactions called the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which helps regulate blood pressure. To start the system or cycle, when blood pressure falls, your kidneys …

Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid hormone in human. It is synthesized by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland. Aldosterone acts on epithelial cells, particularly in the renal collecting duct, but also in colon, and salivary and sweat glands.

2020年10月27日 · Aldosterone (C21H28O5) is a mineralocorticoid hormone compound secreted by the adrenal gland cortex. It is part of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system or RAAS and is an integral part of the complex mechanisms that control water and …
