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.
ACTH regulates the production of cortisol (a stress hormone) by the adrenal glands and its concentration can be measured in the blood. If the level of cortisol in the blood is low, the pituitary gland will be stimulated to secrete ACTH.
