Adrenal glands work interactively with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain. For example, for the adrenal gland to produce corticosteroid hormones: The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH).The ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to make and release corticosteroid hormones into the blood.drenal glands work interactively with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain.
