A disorder caused by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone, which is produced by a part of the adrenal glands called the adrenal cortex
Aldosterone, Cortisol and some testosterone are all secreted by the adrenal cortex
Cortisol is the hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex that is necessary for the metabolism of sugars, fats, and proteins. Cortisol helps regulate blood sugar levels, metabolism, and immune responses in the body.
The pituitary hormone that targets the adrenal cortex is adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and release cortisol, which is important for regulating metabolism, immune response, and the body's response to stress.
there are many, for example, epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, cortisosterone, deoxycorticosterone, aldosterone, DHEA and andosternione.
