This Hormone Increases Systemic Vascular Resistance and Causes the Release

Question

This hormone increases systemic vascular resistance and causes the release of aldosterone.
A) Renin
B) Erythropoietin

D) Angiotensin II

Accepted Answer

Angiotensin II increases systemic vascular resistance and stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands. This hormone is produced through a cascade that starts with the release of renin in response to low blood pressure.
