*Also causes hyposecretion of cortisol (which is also made in the adrenal cortex) Renin: Stimulation of Aldosterone Release *Renin is an enzyme released by the kidneys
1 Aldosterone stimulates Na + and water reabsorption from the gut, salivary and sweat glands in exchange for K 2  + . Aldosterone stimulates secretion of H + in exchange for K + in the intercalated cells of the cortical collecting tubules, regulating plasma bicarbonate (HCO 3 â) levels and its acid/base balance. (The increased potassium level works to regulate aldosterone synthesis by depolarizing the cells in the zona glomerulosa, which opens the voltage-dependent calcium channels .) The level of angiotensin II is regulated by angiotensin I, which is in turn regulated by renin, a hormone secreted in the kidneys.
