*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
The major target of aldosterone is the distal tubule of the kidney, where it stimulates exchange of sodium and potassium. Three primary physiologic effects of aldosterone result: 1  Increased resorption of sodium: sodium loss in urine is decreased under aldosterone stimulation. 2  Increased resorption of water, with consequent expansion of extracellular fluid volume. 3  Increased renal excretion of potassium.
