Which Would Most Directly Decrease the Production of Aldosterone

Question

Which would most directly decrease the production of aldosterone?
A)Going on a low-salt diet
B)Ingesting extra dietary vitamin D
C)Reducing dietary tyrosine
D)Increasing dietary cholesterol
E)Injecting a drug that blocks the production of angiotensin II

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone production is stimulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is activated by angiotensin II. Injecting a drug that blocks the production of angiotensin II would directly decrease the production of aldosterone. The other options are not directly related to the production of aldosterone.
