Aldosterone and renin tests are used to evaluate whether the adrenal glands are producing appropriate amounts of aldosterone and to distinguish between the potential causes of excess or deficiency.
Aldosterone enhances reabsorption of Na+, Cl-, and water in the proximal convoluted tubule by stimulating the activity of Na+/H+ antiporters. Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) 5. a. What stimulates ANP secretion from atrial cells of the heart? A large increase in blood volume promotes release of atrial natriuretic peptide from the heart. b. What affect does ANP have on the following: i. smooth muscle in blood vessel walls â Stretching of the atria of the heart that occurs with an increase in blood volume stimulates ANP secretion. ii. proximal convoluted tubule cells - ANP suppresses reabsorption of Na+ and water in proximal convoluted tubule cells and collecting duct. iii. glomerular ...
