The adrenal glands are endocrine glands located on top of the kidneys. They release certain hormones directly into the bloodstream. These hormones can be divided into two groups: "steroid hormones" and "stress hormones".
"Steroid hormones" such as cortisol and aldosterone, are produced by the outer part of the adrenal glands, called the adrenal cortex. They help regulate the body's use of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, blood pressure, inflammation, blood sugar, and bone formation.
"Stress hormones" such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, are produced by the inner part of the adrenal glands, called the adrenal medulla. They help the body respond to stress, including the fight-or-flight reaction
The functioning of the adrenals may be impaired due to long term stress, thyroid issues, toxic exposures, or extensive use of cortisone therapy.
