What is aldosterone hormone?
Aldosterone is a hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands. It works primarily on kidney (renal) cells to help maintain the balance of fluids and electrolytes in our bodies.

If aldosterone production is not functioning properly, there can be serious consequences to the heart, kidneys and electrolyte balance.

What gland produces catecholamines?
"Catecholamines are produced mainly by the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system. Dopamine, which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is largely produced in neuronal cell bodies in two areas of the brainstem: the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area. The similarly melanin-pigmented cell bodies of the locus ceruleus produce norepinephrine." - WikipediaThe main catecholamines are epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are produced in the adrenal medulla (in the adrenal glands). Dopamine is the other, which is from neuronal cell bodies.

Prednisone affects hormone levels in the body which is made up in part by the endocrine system housing the adrenal glands.
