Mineral Corticoids
Formation of mineral corticoids: Among the hormones synthesized in the zona glomerulosa are aldosterone and corticosterone. The output for the production of these hormones is cholesterol via pregnenolone and progesterone. Through further enzymatic changes (hydroxylation, oxidation) the mineral corticosteroids are finally produced. The corticosterone formed is converted to aldosterone. The receptor is located intracellularly, there … Mineral Corticoids
