This compounds receptor is regulated by channel-inducing factor, and that receptor is antagonized by Canrenone or Spironolactone. Its released in response to the pineal hormone adrenoglomerulotropin. The alkalosis in Liddle's syndrome is due to a decrease in this hormone, while overproduction of this hormone due to a tumor is known as Conn's syndrome. Its produced by an 18-oxidation by its namesake synthase in the zona glomerulosa, and its released during hypokalemia by feedback from the aortic arch. Its part of a feedback system that releases renin and angiotensin II in response to low blood pressure, and is responsible for regulating the sodium-potassium balance. For 10 points, name this mineralocorticoid, which along with cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone is secreted from the adrenal cortex.
