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.
What is Cortisol and what does it do?

You have two small adrenal glands which sit above each kidney.
