Respuesta :
Aldosterone is the hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that acts on the kidneys to cause reabsorption of sodium and water.
Aldosterone is a hormone produced in the glomerular zone specifically produced by the adrenal glands that acts on the kidney.
- Specifically, it intervenes in the distal convoluted tubule through the mineralcorticoid receptor, causing sodium retention and potassium elimination.
- It causes reabsorption of Na +, which passes into the plasma where it proceeds as a water conserving agent, therefore helping to restore plasma volume.
Therefore, we can conclude that aldotesterone is a hormone that has among its functions to regulate sodium balance and is produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands.
