Best Answer

From the adrenal cortex, which is a gland that synthesizes and secretes hormones located right above the kidney. the adrenal cortex also releases mineralcorticoids such as aldosterone, sex corticoids, and glucocorticoids (cortisone and cortisol). Both glucocorticoids work to increase the blood-glucose concentration by gluceogenesis.
