Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following is not a function of aldosterone. Now let's go over each of these answer choices and just discuss which ones appear to be a function of aldosterone and which ones do not? Let's begin by answer choice. A now an answer choice. A states increase sodium reabsorption in the renal tubules. As it turns out Aldo is going to promote the reabsorption of these sodium ions from the renal tubules which is going to increase the concentration of sodium in the blood. Therefore, this is a true statement. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have increase excretion of poti in the urine or as it turns out just like it increases sodium reabsorption. These al is going to increase the excretion of pot which is going to just help maintain proper partition levels in the blood. Therefore, this is a true statement and we're going to cancel that, then we have maintain normal blood pressure. So by regulating these levels of sodium and potassium in the blood, it is going to be able to maintain or just help regulate blood pressure. Therefore, this is a true statement and we're going to cancel it out and then we have the maintain normal blood glucose levels. So Adoum does not really have a direct effect on blood glucose levels. This is mostly going to be done by insulin and another molecule called glucagon. But Aldo is really not going to be present as part of this function. And therefore answer choice d maintain normal blood glucose levels is going to be not a function of all. And a final answer to a question, I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
