Hormones/Adrenal glands This article has been double-blind peer reviewed Key points There are two adrenal glands: one located above each kidney Adrenal glands consist of two parts, the cortex and the medulla, which each produce different hormones The adrenal cortex produces a diverse range of steroid hormones, using cholesterol as a substrate The main hormones produced by the medulla are the ...

Endocrinology, steroid hormones Accepted: 12th December 2016 Introduction Cortisol Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex. Its secretion is directly controlled by the release of adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary which is regulated by corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), and less directly, arginine vasopressin (AVP ...

The adult adrenal cortex produces three classes of steroid hormones: gluco-corticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens. The specialized fetal adrenal, in conjunction with the fetal liver, the placenta, and some maternal organs, produces the steroid hormones of pregnancy. Cortisol, the major glucocorticoid in humans, is rapidly synthesized and secreted in response to ACTH; this is ...

In the adrenal cortex (cortisol, aldosterone) ... All steroid hormones are synthesized from pregnenolone, a C 21 compound This substance results from the action of the side-chain cleavage enzyme complex (desmolase complex) on 20, 22-dihydroxycholesterol The process requires NADPH, oxygen, mitochondrial cytochrome P-450, adrenodoxin Side chain requires multiple hydroxylation reactions …

and adrenal steroid hormones (permissive effects), and the effect of the sympathoadrenal system is enhanced by thy-roid hormones. Adrenaline – function Consider the “sympathoadrenal” system as a functional unit. NA is released by neurons for local autonomic control; adrenaline is a global message. The tissue response depends on the ...

The adrenal medulla is the inner portion derived from ectoderm in which the hormone secreting cells are modified postganglionic sympathetic neurons (or chromaffin cells, based on their staining characteristics) B. Hormones and control systems of adrenal gland 1. The adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones, derived from cholesterol.
