The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of mineralocorticoids, hormonal C21 corticosteroids synthesized from cholesterol. The chemical reactions and pathways involving aldosterone, a corticosteroid hormone that is produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex and regulates salt (sodium and potassium) and water balance. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving any hormone. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroids, compounds with a 1,2,cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving steroids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of hormones. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aldosterone, a corticosteroid hormone that is produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex and regulates salt (sodium and potassium) and water balance. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroid hormones,compounds with a 1, 2, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus that act as hormones. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroid hormones,compounds with a 1, 2, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus that act as hormones. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving aldosterone. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aldosterone. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving aldosterone. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aldosterone.
