Source sentences:
text: Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal gland and can increase blood pressure.
text: In direct opposition, aldosterone stimulates the retention of sodium and water, raising blood pressure.
text: Aldosterone promotes sodium and water retention, raises the blood pressure and lowers the potassium concentration.
text: In consequence, aldosterone increases the blood pressure by reabsorption of sodium and water from the distal tubules of the kidney into the blood, secretion of potassium into the urine, and elevation of circulating blood volume.
text: Aldosterone is a hormone that increases blood pressure.
text: Aldosterone increases blood pressure, so medications work to limit excretion so blood pressure is lowered.
text: Aldosterone is a hormone that increases blood pressure.
text: Angiotensin II also acts on the adrenal glands and releases aldosterone, which stimulates the epithelial cells in the distal tubule and collecting ducts of the kidneys to increase re-absorption of sodium, exchanging with potassium to maintain electrochemical neutrality, and water, leading to raised blood volume and raised blood pressure.
