Each of the following statements concerning the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide are true, except one, identify the exception
a. atrial natriuretic peptide is produced by cells in the heart.
b. atrial natriuretic peptide promotes sodium loss at the kidneys
c. atrial natriuretic peptide reduces the sensation of thirst
d. atrial natriuretic peptide suppresses adh secretion.
e. atrial natriuretic peptide increases aldosterone secretion.

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The main function of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is to reduce extracellular fluid volume by increasing renal sodium excretion.

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which helps to maintain blood pressure. Aldosterone increases reabsorption of sodium and potassium excretion, and as a result an increase in extracellular fluid volume and in blood pressure.  

In conclusion, ANP reduces aldosterone secretion.
