Insulin
Yes, mineralocorticoids are a type of steroid hormones that regulate electrolyte and fluid balance in the body. They primarily act in the kidneys to increase reabsorption of sodium and water, which helps to maintain blood pressure and electrolyte balance. The main mineralocorticoid in humans is aldosterone, produced by the adrenal glands.
The answer is Aldosterone. Accounts for >95% of the mineralocorticoid produced; the essential function of mineralocorticoids is to regulate the electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids, (Na+ and K+)
an example of an organism is people and plants
You are a good example of a multicellular organism and Escherichia coli, the microorganism living symbiotically in your intestine, is a good example of a unicellular organism.
Can you give an example of a prokaryotic organism, like bacteria, and an example of a eukaryotic organism, like a plant, in one question?
Aldosterone
Most potent mineralocorticoid is fludrocortisone
cortisol
can you list two actions of the mineralocoidicoid
Aldosterone is the most potent mineralocorticoid, playing a key role in regulating the body's salt and water balance by acting on the kidneys. On the other hand, deoxycorticosterone (DOC) is a less potent and least abundant mineralocorticoid that also helps regulate electrolyte balance but to a lesser extent compared to aldosterone.
The adrenal glands which are located near the kidneys.

Addisons, for whoever is doing the study guide for chapter 14!
The adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids, specifically cortisol.
Aldosterone is the mineralocorticoid that is known as the salt retaining hormone. It helps regulate salt and water balance in the body by acting on the kidneys to promote sodium retention and potassium excretion.
A disorder caused by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone, which is produced by a part of the adrenal glands called the adrenal cortex
