| 10246086536 | Antidiuretic hormone | Acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content, and water excreted by the kidneys | 31 | |
| 10252033110 | Renin | Released in response to decreased blood flow or decreased pressure in nephrons. Released and stored by kidneys, promotes the production of angiotensin. | 32 | |
