Control of sodium balance

Main mechanisms

  • Aldosterone (most important)
  • Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
  • ADH (in AV6, but not WG21)
  • Angiotensin
  • Renal nerve stimulation

Other factors not directly involved in renal function

Factors that increase Na+ resorption
  • Cortisol
  • Oestrogen
  • Growth hormone
  • Thyroid hormone
  • Insulin
Factors that decrease Na+ resorption
  • Glucagon
  • Progesterone
  • Parathyroid hormone
