Q. Life saving hormone is secreted by which gland?

Chhattisgarh PMTChhattisgarh PMT 2004

Solution:

The chief mineral-regulating hormone is aldosterone, which is truly a life-saving hormone, for without it the sodium and chloride concentrations in the body would be greatly reduced, resulting in shock and sudden death. Cortisol is essential for life. Cortisol helps to maintain blood pressure, immune function and the body's anti-inflammatory processes.
