ACTH-stimulated aldosterone secretion can be inhibited by atrio-natriuretic peptide/cGMP. The mechanism behind this modulation has been reported to involve cGMP-dependent activation of phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2) and hydrolysis of cAMP. Recently it was reported that activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase II (cGKII) stimulated aldosterone secretion in rat zona glomerulosa cells.

In cosmonaut venous blood was drawn twice, and 24-hour urine samples were collected on mission Days 5 and 19. With the aid of Plasma-02 equipment the blood plasma and urinary samples were treated, frozen and maintained aboard the station.
