The main role of<unk> s is to regulate electrolyte and water levels in the kidneys. Each steroid has a different effect on these levels. These effects also depend on the functionality of the<unk>  glands. In people that suffer from<unk>  insufficiency, desoxycorticosterone acts to decrease the sodium concentration in urine while at the same time increasing the potassium concentration. By doing this, sodium is reabsorbed and sodium levels increase in the serum while potassium levels decrease. Cortisone is another steroid that allows the glomeruli to filter the blood more efficiently. This steroid also increases the urine volume as a result of its ability to decrease the retention of water within the kidney. In people with healthy or hyperfunctioning<unk>  glands, desoxycorticosterone plays a completely different role. This steroid now increases the sodium concentration within the urine, resulting in the loss of electrolytes. On the other hand, the role of cortisone stays relatively constant.
