Question

Which one of the following is NOT a true effect of aldosterone on the principal cells of distal tubule and the collecting duct to increase the reabsorption of Na⁺?

A.

Stimulation of CAP1 levels

B.

Decrease in the serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (Sgk1) levels

C.

Increase in the expression of ENaC in the apical membrane

D.

Increase in the amount of Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase in the basolateral membrane

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b).

Aldosterone increases, not decreases, the expression of serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (Sgk1). Sgk1 plays a role in the regulation of sodium and potassium transport by enhancing the activity of channels and transporters involved in sodium reabsorption.

Incorrect option-

Option (a) is true; CAP1 is stimulated by aldosterone to regulate sodium transport.

Option (c) is true; aldosterone increases ENaC expression in the apical membrane to enhance sodium reabsorption.

Option (d) is true; aldosterone increases Na+, K+-ATPase in the basolateral membrane to facilitate sodium extrusion into the blood.
