Question

the hormone ______ is released as a result of renin secretion by the kidney. enter answer

Explanation:

Renin secretion by the kidney initiates the renin - angiotensin - aldosterone system (RAAS). Renin acts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Also, angiotensin II itself is a hormone involved in this pathway. So the hormone released as a result of renin secretion can be aldosterone (or angiotensin II, but aldosterone is a key one in the RAAS downstream of renin's action).

Answer:

aldosterone (or angiotensin II)
