Adrenal gland hormone secretion. Adrenal glands produce hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, steroids, cortisol, and cortisone, and chemicals such as adrenalin (epinephrine), norepinephrine, and dopamine. When the glands produce more or less hormones than required by the body, disease conditions may occur.
Chronic excessive levels of cortisol are seen in a condition known as Cushing's syndrome. And chronically low, and insufficient levels of cortisol are seen in Addison's disease. The third group of steroids secreted by the adrenal cortex is the gonadocorticoids, or sex hormones.
