Aldosterone molecule

Aldosterone molecule. Molecular model showing the structure of a molecule of the steroid hormone aldosterone (C21.H28.O5). Atoms are colour-coded (carbon: grey, hydrogen: white, oxygen: red). Aldosterone is released by the adrenal glands and helps maintain the bodys water and electrolyte balance. It does this by increasing or decreasing uptake of sodium and potassium into tissues. Excess aldosterone levels in the blood can lead to high blood pressure and muscle weakness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the aldosterone molecule, a vital steroid hormone responsible for maintaining the delicate balance of water and electrolytes in our bodies. Against a pristine white background, this molecular model reveals the precise arrangement of atoms that constitute aldosterone (C21. H28. O5). Each atom is color-coded to enhance clarity: carbon appears in grey, hydrogen in white, and oxygen in red. Produced by the adrenal glands, aldosterone plays a crucial role in regulating sodium and potassium uptake into tissues. By increasing or decreasing their absorption levels, this hormone ensures that our body's water-electrolyte equilibrium remains intact. However, excessive amounts of aldosterone circulating through our bloodstream can lead to hypertension and muscle weakness. With its impeccable detail and scientific accuracy, this print serves as an invaluable resource for researchers delving into biochemistry, molecular biology, endocrinology, or any field related to hormonal studies. The cut-out presentation further emphasizes the significance of each individual atom within this complex compound. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that not only educates but also captivates viewers with its profound beauty. This image is a testament to their commitment to providing high-quality visuals that facilitate scientific exploration without compromising aesthetic appeal.
