Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is a potent mineralocorticoid hormone that primarily acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium ions, thereby increasing water retention and increasing blood volume and blood pressure. Antidiuretic hormone also helps increase water retention, but it primarily acts on the kidneys to promote the reabsorption of water. Hydrocortisone and norepinephrine are both hormones that can increase blood pressure, but they do not primarily function as mineralocorticoids like aldosterone.
