Aldosterone: A hormone produced by the outer portion (cortex) of the adrenal gland. Aldosterone regulates the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, encouraging the kidney to excrete potassium into the urine and retain sodium, thereby retaining water.
250px Benjah 2006 Aldosterone 2D structure. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone which is secreted from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland. It has a mineralocorticoid activity and is the most important regulator of plasma potassium..e. angiotensin 2 and aldosterone affect sodium, but they also affect the extra cellular fluid (ECF) volume, so only the quantity is affected, not the concentration. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and the thirst response also work together to dilute the ECF if the concentrations of sodium is high.
