What is the hormone that is important in regulation of sodium water balance?
Aldosterone is the hormone produced by the adrenal gland which is responsible for salt (sodium) regulation of the body.
What hormone causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water?
Vasopressin and ANP reduce water loss in urine. I don't remember which hormone reduces sodium loss in urine.

lipid soluble
A major determinant of a hormone’s mechanism of action is?
whether the hormone is water soluble or lipid soluble
What hormone regulates salt and water balance?
Aldosterone is the hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex and promotes the retention of salt which then helps the body to retain more water. This is important for maintaining blood pressure in the body which is essential for proper kidney function.
Is Parathyroid hormone water soluble?
Yes. It is not a steroid so it is water soluble!
Why does taking a steroid hormone make you retain water?
A steroid hormone has a side effect of having mineralcorticoid activity. Specifically, it exerts similar effects to that of aldosterone. What aldosterone does is increase the amount of sodium that's reabsorbed by your kidney. With sodium, water comes along as well, hence the water retention from a steroid hormone.
What is an antagonistic hormone to actions of aldosterone?
atrial natriuretic hormone
What hormones retains sodium in the body?
