A young man presents with a blood pressure of 175/110 mm Hg. He is found to have a high circulating aldosterone but a low circulating cortisol. Glucocorticoid treatment lowers his circulating aldosterone and lowers his blood pressure to 140/85 mm Hg. He probably has an abnormality in what enzyme? Group of answer choices 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 17α-hydroxylase 21β-hydroxylase aldosterone synthase
