there are many, for example, epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, cortisosterone, deoxycorticosterone, aldosterone, DHEA and andosternione.
The only gonadal adrenocortical hormone is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA is produced in both the adrenal glands and the gonads, and serves as a precursor to other sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen.

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.
Cushing's Syndrome is the disease caused by increased adrenocortical secretion.
Production of hormone is usually "hormone specific " therefore inadequacy is determined by which hormone is not produced. Often the prefix hypo- is used. I.e hypothyroidism-no/reduced secretion of thyroid hormones. Hypoparathyroidism- abnormally low rate of PTH, and lastly hyposecretion ( chronic adrenocortical insufficiency)
ardenocorticotroptic (ACTH) acts through the stimulation of cell surface ACTH receptors, which are located primarily on adrenocortical cells of the adrenal cortex. This results in the synthesis and secretion of gluco- and mineralo-corticosteroids and androgenic steroids.hope i helped !!
A cancer that arises in the adrenal cortex is called an adrenocortical carcinoma and can produce high blood pressure, weight gain, excess body hair, weakening of the bones and diabetes
Assidon's Disease
steroids (bile salts, vitamin D, sex hormones, adrenocortical hormones)
Some gonadal adrenocortical hormones include testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones are produced in the adrenal glands as well as the gonads (testes and ovaries), and they play key roles in regulating sexual development, fertility, and reproductive functions.
