Hi guys,

Does Aldo have neg feedback on ACTH

My guess is no, because it is released following kidney renin release, & as such is a different animal than the ACTH-cortisol negative feedback mech.

Thanks for the help!

cholestrol hormones pathway is just like a factory for aldosteron but the message coming from renin unlike glucocorticoid and and sex hormones
