2022年9月12日 · Aldosterone’s primary function is to help regulate your blood pressure. Aldosterone contributes to this important function in a few ways: Aldosterone signals certain organs, like your kidneys and colon, to increase the amount of sodium they send into your bloodstream or the amount of potassium released in your urine (pee).

2023年5月1日 · Aldosterone's primary function is to act on the late distal tubule and collecting duct of nephrons in the kidney, favoring sodium and water reabsorption and potassium excretion while also contributing to acid-base balance.

It plays a central role in the homeostatic regulation of blood pressure, plasma sodium (Na +), and potassium (K +) levels. It does so primarily by acting on the mineralocorticoid receptors in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron. [6] .

2025年2月1日 · What is aldosterone's role in the body? Aldosterone regulates the salt and water balance of the body by increasing the retention of sodium and water and the excretion of potassium by the kidneys (and to a lesser extent by the skin and intestines).

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the outer section (cortex) of the adrenal glands, which sit above the kidneys. It plays a central role in the regulation of blood pressure mainly by acting on organs such as the kidney and the colon to increase the amount of salt ( sodium ) reabsorbed into the bloodstream and to increase the amount ...

2024年6月19日 · Aldosterone, often referred to as the “salt-retaining hormone,” plays a crucial role in maintaining electrolyte balance within the body. It is primarily produced by the adrenal glands and acts on the kidneys to regulate water and salt levels.

2023年12月1日 · Aldosterone was initially identified as a hormone primarily related to regulation of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. However, over the past 20 years there has been an increasing appreciation of its role in regulation of vascular function and pathophysiology in the setting of hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure.

2023年5月1日 · Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone produced in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex that influences water and salt regulation in the body. Aldosterone's primary function is to act on the late distal tubule and collecting duct of nephrons in the kidney, favoring sodium and water reabsor …

2010年3月16日 · The role of aldosterone in renal and cardiovascular injury, including inflammation, tissue remodeling and fibrosis, has been demonstrated in various animal models of hypertension and kidney ...

2024年3月1日 · Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that regulates sodium and potassium levels in the body. This hormone plays a vital role in maintaining blood pressure and balancing electrolytes. It is primarily responsible for reabsorbing sodium and excreting potassium in the kidneys to regulate fluid balance and blood pressure.
