* Its release is inhibited by Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
* Its release is inhibited by Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
* Most increases in the concentration of aldosterone however can be explained by increases in the [[Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) - Anatomy & Physiology| Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System]] and therefore angiotensin 2 and/or by increases in K<sup>+</sup> concentration
* Most increases in the concentration of aldosterone however can be explained by increases in the '''Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System''' and therefore angiotensin 2 and/or by increases in K<sup>+</sup> concentration
* Only in severe fluid loss does ACTH significantly stimulate the release of aldosterone
* Only in severe fluid loss does ACTH significantly stimulate the release of aldosterone
* ANP is secreted in response to sodium/water loading and therefore inhibits aldosterone secretion
* ANP is secreted in response to sodium/water loading and therefore inhibits aldosterone secretion
