What do adrenal hormones do?

Answer 1

The adrenal cortex produces cortisol and aldosterone hormones.
Adrenal cortex:

Aldosterone - Regulates ion homeostasis

Cortisol - Breakdown of protein, triglycerides, Glucose production, anti-inflammatory and depressant of the immune system.

Androgens - sex hormones

Adrenal Medulla:

Epinephrine(Adrenaline) and

Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline) - Stimulate 'Fight or flight' responses
is stimulated by the hormone ACTH secreted by the anterior pituitary

Answer 2

The adrenal cortex is devoted to production of corticosteroid and androgen hormones. Special cells produce particular hormones including aldosterone which regulate sodium level, cortisol which is anti-inflammatory, and androgens which promote male characteristics.

Answer 3

there are a few adrenal hormones some come from the cortex and others from the medulla... the ones from the cortex help absorb sodium ions (aldosterone), and cortisol provokes gluconeogenesis...the medulla is responsible for the release of epinephrine or adrenaline.

Answer 4

The adrenal cortex mediates the stress response through the production of mineralocorticoids and glucocortidoids; it is a secondary site of androgen synthesis.
cortisol
Adrenaline and testosterone
Epinephrine.
There are three: Aldosterone, Cortisol, Androgens
There are two hormones.They are cortisol and aldostorone

Answer 5

This is a very complex question. Many hormones regulate the adrenal cortex. Adrenaline and epinephrine, cortisol, Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) ect.. Is there a more specific function of the adrenal cortex you are interested in?

Answer 6

regulate body during stress

Answer 7

Cortisol
