10-15. HORMONES OF THE SUPRARENAL CORTEX

Each suprarenal cortex produces a variety of hormones which can be grouped into three categories:

a. Mineralocorticoids (for example, aldosterone), which are concerned with the electrolytes of the body.

b. Glucocorticoids (for example, cortisol), which are concerned with many metabolic functions and are anti-inflammatory in nature.

c. Sex hormones. Adrenal androgens and estrogens.
