*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
Aldosterone stimulates the retention of sodium (salt) and the excretion of potassium by the kidneys. Renin is produced by the kidneys and controls the activation of the hormone angiotensin, which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce aldosterone.The kidneys release renin when there is a drop in blood pressure or a decrease in sodium chloride concentration in the tubules in the kidney.enin cleaves the blood protein angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, which is then converted by a second enzyme to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict, and it stimulates aldosterone production.
