However, the adrenal gland function may be more complicated; some researchers suggest that the adrenal gland in the NHP has additional functions subtly associated with homeostasis that are autologous and under the influence of a seasonal circadian physiology rather than direct pituitary-hypothalamic ...
70 Direct secretion of estrogen by the adrenal gland is negligible; isolated reports have suggested that the adrenal secretes small amounts of estrone and estradiol.71 The precise function of these androgens in women is not known, although their anabolic effects may be important.

Disorders of increased adrenal function Cushing syndrome Pathophysiology Cushing syndrome (CS) is rare and is defined as hypercortisolism secondary to excessive production of glucocorticoids by the adrenal cortex. Corticotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland secrete ACTH, also known as corticotropin...
