Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corticoids, specifically aldosterone, are responsible for regulating salt and water balance in the body. A deficiency in aldosterone can lead to a craving for salt. Thyroxin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine are hormones that are not directly involved in regulating salt balance.
