    steroid hormone regulating salt and water balance in kidneys

    Deoxycorticosterone (DOC) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a role in regulating salt and water balance in the body by acting on the kidneys to promote sodium retention and potassium excretion. This hormone is a precursor in the biosynthesis of aldosterone, another key hormone involved in electrolyte and fluid balance.
