Hormone corticosurrénalienne, appartenant au groupe des minéralo-corticoïdes, [...], douée d'une puissante activité sur le métabolisme de l'eau et du chlorure de sodium. [...] Dans le milieu extracellulaire, elle entraîne une rétention de sodium et une fuite de potassium en agissant essentiellement au niveau du rein [...]. Dans le milieu cellulaire, elle favorise le passage du sodium et des ions hydrogène de la cellule vers le milieu extracellulaire, du potassium dans le sens inverse. Elle joue ainsi un rôle important dans la dépolarisation et la repolarisation de la membrane cellulaire. 1, record 1, French, - aldost%C3%A9rone
