The 16 pages that link to Adrenal cortex, each with the reason it gives.

• CortisolBroader topic: Its zona fasciculata is the principal source of circulating cortisol.

• Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axisBroader topic: Its cells synthesize cortisol when stimulated by ACTH.

• Steroid hormoneRelated: It is a major source of corticosteroid hormones.

• AldosteroneBroader topic: Aldosterone is synthesized in this gland region’s outer zona glomerulosa.

• Congenital adrenal hyperplasiaNarrower topic: Its three zones make the steroids affected by these enzyme defects.

• GlucocorticoidRelated: Its zona fasciculata produces most circulating cortisol.

• Adrenal medullaCompared with: It surrounds the medulla but makes steroid hormones rather than catecholamines.

• Adrenal glandBroader topic: Its layered tissue makes the gland’s steroid hormones.

• Addison's diseaseBroader topic: Damage to this tissue reduces the hormones deficient in Addison's disease.

• Chromaffin cellsCompared with: It lies beside the medulla but arises from a different embryonic lineage and makes different hormones.

• AdrenalectomyBroader topic: Cortical tumors and hormone-producing disorders commonly provide the reason for surgery.

• Edward Calvin KendallNarrower topic: Kendall’s hormone investigations focused on substances produced in this tissue.

• DehydroepiandrosteroneBroader topic: It is the principal source of circulating DHEA and DHEA sulfate.

• CorticosteroneBroader topic: Corticosterone is produced mainly in this tissue.

• HyperaldosteronismBroader topic: Aldosterone-producing cells reside in its outer zona glomerulosa.

• Tadeusz ReichsteinNarrower topic: It was the source tissue for the hormones Reichstein investigated.
