6. Increasing the aldosterone secretion during prolonged muscle activity in hotweather allows you to compensate for the sodium loss in sweat and removethe accumulated excess of potassium. Explain these biological effects of thehormone during exercise. For answer:a) draw the structure of the hormone, name the precursor for its synthesis, siteof synthesis, signals for secretion, target cells;b) draw a diagram of the hormonal signal transduction starting with hormoneinteraction with the cell receptor;

Aldosterone is a Mineralocorticoid secreted from adrenal cortex located on the top of the Kidneys.…
