Glossary Mineralocorticoids

hormones that regulate electrolyte and fluid balance in kidneys

Mineralocorticoids are a type of hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. These hormones, such as aldosterone, help regulate the balance of minerals like sodium and potassium in the body, which in turn controls blood pressure and fluid balance. For professionals, it's important to note that mineralocorticoids act primarily on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron in the kidneys, influencing electrolyte and water reabsorption.
