1. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and potassium-aldosterone feedback loops
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and potassium-aldosterone feedback loops. Zona glomerulosa aldosterone production and secretion are determined by input from each loop (ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; ACTH, cortocotropin; ANP, atrial natriuretic peptide; BP, blood pressure; K+, potassium; Na+, sodium).
