Question

what hormones regulate the distal convoluted tubule?
aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (adh).
progesterone and estrogen
aldosterone and fsh
renin and antidiuretic hormone
insulin and growth hormone

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. Progesterone and estrogen are sex - related hormones. FSH (follicle - stimulating hormone) is involved in reproductive functions. Renin is an enzyme (not a hormone in the traditional sense for direct regulation of the tubule in the way asked here). Insulin and growth hormone have other primary functions (e.g., insulin in glucose metabolism, growth hormone in growth and metabolism).

Answer:

Aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
