Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, act at the kidneys to promote sodium retention and enhance potassium elimination. This helps to regulate blood volume and blood pressure. Mineralocorticoids do not stimulate gluconeogenesis or protein degradation, and do not play a significant role in the pubertal growth spurt or maintaining plasma calcium levels.
