Product name:Aldosterone
CAS: 52-39-1
Molecular Formula: C21H28O5
Molecular Weight: 360.44
Product description:Is one of the hormones that regulate blood volume, by adjusting the renal reabsorption of sodium ions to maintain water and salt balance. Aldosterone is adjust the hormone of extracellular fluid volume and electrolyte, aldosterone secretion, is through the renin angiotensin system implementation. When decrease extracellular fluid capacity, stimulate the juxtaglomerular apparatus cells secreted renin, activation of renin angiotensin aldosterone system, aldosterone secretion to increase, increase renal reabsorption sodium ions, resulting in heavy water absorption increased, extracellular fluid capacity increase; Instead of extracellular fluid volume increase, through the opposite mechanism, reduce aldosterone secretion, renal reabsorption of sodium ions and water cut, extracellular fluid volume decline. Elevated serum sodium, potassium also stimulate the adrenal cortex, increase the aldosterone secretion.
