Aldosterone is a steroid hormone or mineralocorticoid produced by the outer-section ie, zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland to regulate sodium and potassium balance in the blood. It is produced in the cortex of adrenal gland (above the kidneys). It helps in regulating blood pressure. It sends signals to the organs like kidney and colon, that can increase the amount of sodium that the body sends into the blood stream or the amount of potassium released in the urine. It also helps to maintain body's pH and electrolyte levels.
