Cortisol (Fig. 20.13, also known as hydrocortisone) is a member of the class ofsteroid hormonesknown as glucocorticoids. It is produced by the zona fasciculate of the adrenal gland in response to stress and so is often referred to as the “stress hormone”. Its primary functions are to: ...

Aldosterone (ALD) is a steroid hormone secreted by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex that mainly acts on the kidney to regulate sodium ion and water reabsorption. Detection of ALD plays an important role in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism in patients with hypertension. For the ...
1.Any of a class of organic compounds having as a basis 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings. Steroids include the sex hormones, such as testosterone, and hormones produced by the adrenal glands. They also include sterols, such as cholesterol, and certain forms of vitamins. ...
Every adrenal steroid hormone has a ketone group at C3 and a double bond between C4 and C5. In the liver their physiological activities are lost when ring A is reduced, and they are partially inactivated when the 11β-hydroxyl is oxidized to a ketone group (as in cortisone and 11-dehydro...

Recent data reveal that dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate secreted by the adrenal cortex in primates is the source of androgens which in women are synthesized in the liver. In pregnancy estriol is synthesized in the placenta from the same prehormone originating in the fetal adrenal. Steroid hormones ...
