The secretion of aldosterone is directly stimulated by angiotensin II.

Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone. It is synthesized in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex that affects water and salt regulation in the body.

The basic function of the hormone is to act on the late distal tubule and collecting duct of nephrons in the kidney, which promotes sodium and water reabsorption and potassium removal thus maintaining acid-base balance.

Conditions like low blood pressure or low serum sodium stimulates the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) in which initially renin is produced from the renal juxtaglomerular cells after which angiotensinogen is cleaved into angiotensin I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) from the lungs then converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which in turn triggers the production of aldosterone.

Vanyuwa [196]
Step 1
Glucose enters glycolysis pathway and glycolysis yields pyruvate, then pyruvate undergoes processing.
step 2
Pyruvate processing ;releases acetylCOA which joins the citric acid cycle.
Step 3
The citric acid cycle yields 2ATP and CO2 and also releases NADH and FADH2 to electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
Step 4
Chemiosmosis and electron transport chain yields 25 ATP molecules and H2O Oxygen enters electron transport chain and osmosis.
