Which of the following causes an increase in sodium reabsorption in distal convoluted tubule?

Options

(a) Increase in aldosterone levels
(b) Increase in antidiuretic hormone levels
(c) Decrease in aldosterone levels
(d) Decrease in antidiuretic hormone levels

Correct Answer:

Increase in aldosterone levels

Explanation:

Aldosterone hormone, released by the adrenal glands, helps the body regulate blood pressure. Aldosterone causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water into the blood. This increases the volume of fluid in the body, which also increases blood pressure.
