Best Answer: Aldosterone stimulates cation pumps in cell membranes of the kidneys to conserve Na+ & Cl- and also remove K+ thereby maintaining the osmotic concentration of body fluids. Cortisol would target liver cells for glucose/glycogen synthesis. Adrenaline would target the sympathetic nervous system.
Cortisol binds to the glucocorticoid receptor in the cytoplasm and the hormone-receptor complex is then translocated into the nucleus, where it binds to its DNA response element and modulates transcription from a battery of genes, leading to changes in the cell's phenotype.
