Question
Review the action of steroid and peptide hormones in chapter 27 Which hormone should act faster, ADH or aldosterone? Why?
Step 1
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is produced in the posterior pituitary and acts as a direct messenger to the kidneys, instructing them to reabsorb more water. This action does not rely on any secondary messengers or other homeostatic variables. Show more…
