Aldosterone: Regulating Electrolyte Balance and Blood Pressure

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that plays a critical role in regulating electrolyte balance and blood pressure in the body. Its main functions are to increase the reabsorption of sodium ions in the renal tubules, leading to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure, and to stimulate the excretion of potassium ions in the urine, helping to maintain the balance of potassium and sodium ions in the body.
