Short example sentences

AI increases for the same reason; AII and aldosterone decrease. (10 words)

Aldosterone stimulates sodium retention and potassium excretion by the kidneys. (10 words)

Aldosterone and corticosterone share the first part of their biosynthetic pathway. (11 words)

Longer example sentences

When the plasma sodium ion concentration is higher than normal ( hypernatremia ), the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular apparatus is halted, ceasing the production of angiotensin II, and its consequent aldosterone-release into the blood. (35 words)

The angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone released from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands has an effect on particularly the epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys. (33 words)

Aldosterone acts primarily on the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys, stimulating them to excrete potassium ions into the tubular fluid, and thus into the urine. (29 words)

Example sentences (19)

The last part is mediated either by the aldosterone synthase (for aldosterone ) or by the 11β-hydroxylase (for corticosterone ).

Mineralys aims to address aldosterone, but in a different way than currently available medications.

She now has MRI’s every year and has been left with adrenal insufficiency, a condition where the adrenal glands don’t produce enough cortisol or aldosterone.

And excessive amounts of aldosterone can upset water and salt levels, as well as blood pressure.

AI increases for the same reason; AII and aldosterone decrease.

Aldosterone acts primarily on the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys, stimulating them to excrete potassium ions into the tubular fluid, and thus into the urine.

Aldosterone and corticosterone share the first part of their biosynthetic pathway.

Aldosterone plays a central role regulating blood pressure through its effects on the kidney.

Advertentie

Aldosterone stimulates sodium retention and potassium excretion by the kidneys.

Causes for this condition are bilateral hyperplasia (excessive tissue growth) of the glands, or aldosterone-producing adenomas (a condition called Conn's syndrome ).

Conversely, when renin levels are low, angiotensin II and aldosterone levels decrease, contracting the extracellular fluid compartment, and decreasing blood pressure.

Increased aldosterone levels results in salt and water absorption in the distal collecting tubule.

In the kidneys, aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubules and the collecting ducts by increasing the reabsorption of sodium and the excretion of both potassium and hydrogen ions.

Since aldosterone is responsible for increasing the excretion of potassium, ACE inhibitors can cause retention of potassium.

Suppression of angiotensin II leads to a decrease in aldosterone levels.

The angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone released from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands has an effect on particularly the epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys.

Therefore, the effects of aldosterone in sodium retention are important for the regulation of blood pressure.

These enzymes are nearly identical (they share 11β-hydroxylation and 18-hydroxylation functions), but aldosterone synthase is also able to perform an 18-oxidation.

When the plasma sodium ion concentration is higher than normal ( hypernatremia ), the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular apparatus is halted, ceasing the production of angiotensin II, and its consequent aldosterone-release into the blood.
