Aldosterone will cause salt-retention and thereby H2O retention because of the osmotic gradient.
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.
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.
There are several causes of sudden water retention. Poor circulation, premenstrual symptoms, salt, or a blockage in the lymphatic system can all cause this condition.
Antidiuretic hormone
The salt wouldn't make you fat BUT it causes water retention. Too much salt= dehydration = your face will LOOK fatter from the water that your body will store in your face .
It's one of the chemical properties of salt that it draws moisture to itself.
Atrial natriuretic hormone
The main type of hormone that essentially loves salt are the ones secreted by the thyroid in a human body. This can be table salt or even sea salt.
Salt increases it, to reduce it ... reduce salt.
Epsom salt baths can help with water retention by drawing excess fluid out of the body through osmosis. The magnesium in Epsom salt can also help improve circulation and reduce swelling, which can contribute to water retention.
luteinizing hormone
The hormone that causes ovulation to occur is called luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain.
