glucocorticoids
mainly cortisol, hydrocortisone, and cortisone. This promotes fat deposition and suppresses immune response. It is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone that is secreted by the adenohypophysis of the pituitary gland.

What hormones produced by each zone of the adrenal cortex?
Outer zona glomerulosa secrets the hormone called as aldosterone. Middle zona fasciculata secretes the hormone called as cortisol and hydrocortisone. Inner zona reticulosa secretes the androgens.
What Helps to protect the body during long-term stressful situations such as extended illness and surgery?
cortisone
What hormone does zona reticularis produce?
The zona reticularis produces androgens. The most important androgens such as:TestosteroneDihydrotestosterone (DHT)Androstenedione (Andro)Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
What is adrenal cortex?
You have the cortex and medulla in the adrenal gland. You have zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis in the cortex. It mainly secrets the hormones cortisol and hydrocortisones along with little sex hormones.
What are the zones of the adrenal gland?
There are two parts to the adrenal gland, the outer portion called the Adrenal Cortex, and the inner portion called the Adrenal Medulla.
What is the primary hormone that has a role in stress adaptation?
Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland
What hormones produced by each zone of the adrenal cortex?
Outer zona glomerulosa secrets the hormone called as aldosterone. Middle zona fasciculata secretes the hormone called as cortisol and hydrocortisone. Inner zona reticulosa secretes the androgens.
Damage to cells of the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex would result in?
Decreased ability to convert lipids to glucose
Does the Zona fasciculata in the adrenal gland secrete norepinephrine?
No
Which type of lipid would cortisol be classified as?
Cortisol is a steroid hormone. It is specifically a glucocorticoid that is produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex in response to stress and a low level of blood glucose. It's functions are to increase blood sugar, suppress the immune system, and aid in the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. It also decreases bone formation. Cortisol is not to be confused with hydrocortisone, which is used as a medication.

Where cortisol produced?
The gallbladder. I disagree it is an important hormone in the body, secreted by the adrenal glands.

What is the glycoprotein layer between the oocyte and the granulosa cells of an ovarian follicle called?
