Mineralocorticoid is to aldosterone as glucocorticoid is to?
cortisol
How to increase aldosterone?
Aldosterone helps to indirectly regulate blood levels. A low sodium diet is a way to increase aldosterone in the body.
Which gland is responsible for mineralocorticoid production?
The adrenal glands which are located near the kidneys.
Which of the choices below are the most important hormone regulators of electrolyte reabsorption and secretion?
angiotensin II and aldosterone
What organ secrets the most potent of the digestive enzymes?
pancreas
Is it true that aldosterone is the most potent mineralocorticoid produced in the adrenals but the least abundant?
false
What is the major mineralocorticoid?
Aldosterone
Mineralocorticoid is to aldosterone as glucocorticoid is to?
cortisol
What is aldosterone?
A disorder caused by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone, which is produced by a part of the adrenal glands called the adrenal cortex
The most important regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is?
The answer is Aldosterone. Accounts for >95% of the mineralocorticoid produced; the essential function of mineralocorticoids is to regulate the electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids, (Na+ and K+)
What is a hormone that is a potent vasoconstrictor and that stimulates secretion of aldosterone?
Renin which causes the production of Angiotensin which ultimately is converted into Angiotensin II.
What adrenal cortical hormone causes potassium excretion?
The hormone that regulates sodium blood levels via the kidneys is aldosterone.
What is the function of corticosteriod hormone?
Corticosteroids affect mineral and glucose metabolism. One of them, cortisol, is a glucocorticoid and is generally regarded as a long-term stress regulator. Another is aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid, and it helps regulate salt in the body. And still another is an androgen, a masculinizing hormone.
What is an example of mineralocorticoid?
Insulin
Which hormones maintain salt and water balance in the extracellular fluid?
Aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid) regulates water and electrolyte (salt) balance in the extracellular fluid, mainly by regulating sodium ion reabsorption by kidney tubules. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the distal and collecting tubules of the kidney to reabsorb more water from the urinary filtrate, thereby reducing urine output and conserving body water.
What is the most potent antigen?
Of all the foreign molecules that act as complete antigens, proteins are the most potent.
Actions of mineralocorticoid?
can you list two actions of the mineralocoidicoid
