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.
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to psychological and physiological stress. When the cortisol receptors on the pituitary gland are activated, they reduce production of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is the messenger between the hypothalamus and the thyroid gland.
