	Adrenal Gland : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., natural options for adrenal fatigue
		The pituitary gland, in turn, produces corticotropin hormones, which stimulate the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroid or steroid hormones.
		Adrenal crisis represents an endocrine emergency, and thus the rapid recognition and prompt therapy for adrenal crisis are critical for survival even before the diagnosis is made.
		Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an adrenal disease that affects adrenal gland function, resulting in abnormal steroidogenesis caused by a deficiency or complete lack of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase (accounting for 90% of CAH cases).

		An adrenal gland is made of two parts: the outer region is called the adrenal cortex and the inner region is called the adrenal medulla.
		The adrenal cortex, the outer portion of the adrenal gland, secretes hormones that have an effect on the body's metabolism, on chemicals in the blood, and on certain body characteristics.
		The adrenal medulla, the inner part of the adrenal gland, is not essential to life, but helps a person in coping with physical and emotional stress.

		The theory is that the adrenal glands of animals spayed or neutered very young might try to compensate for the lack of normal sex hormones by proliferation of cells that produce sex hormones.
		The incidence of adrenal gland problems is increasing in the UK as pet ferrets begin to share their owners' homes instead of living in the back garden.
		The first sign noticed by the owner of a spayed female with an adrenal gland tumor is often the sudden appearance of a swollen vulva, as if she were in heat.

	Adrenal gland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mammals, the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands or colloquially as kidney hats) are the triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit atop the kidneys; their name indicates that position (ad, "near" or "at" + renes, "kidneys").
		In humans, the adrenal glands are found at the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra and receive their blood supply from the adrenal arteries.
		The primary glucocorticoid released by the adrenal gland is cortisol.

	History of Adrenal Cell Extracts
		Adrenal cell extracts are not replacement hormones, but instead provide the essential constituents for adrenal repair.
		They include all the adrenal cell contents, such as nucleic acids (adrenal cell RNA and DNA) and concentrated nutrients in the form and proportion used by the adrenals to properly function and recover, but contain only tiny amounts of the actual hormones in the adrenal gland.
		Adrenal extracts have been and continue to be a fundamental part of the treatment protocol for adrenal fatigue used effectively for over 80 years.

	Adrenal Weakness
		The adrenal glands produce their array of hormones in a complex symphony that is orchestrated by two structures in the brain called the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.
		Some of the common causes that contribute to adrenal exhaustion are continued stress, poor diet, over-consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates, overuse of caffeine, alcohol, drugs, nicotine, and vitamin B and C deficiencies.
		The adrenal glands are richly fed by nerves that connect to the spine, and by releasing blockages through these simple and effective techniques, the glands can be stimulated and strengthened.

	Adrenal Gland Disorders
		The adrenal glands are the part of the body responsible for releasing three different classes of hormones.

	adrenal gland. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The outer yellowish layer (cortex) of the adrenal gland secretes about 30 steroid hormones, the most important of which are aldosterone and cortisol.
		The adrenal cortex controls metabolic processes that are essential to life and if it ceases to function death ensues within a few days.
		The inner reddish portion (medulla) of the adrenal gland, which is not functionally related to the adrenal cortex, secretes epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine.

	The Adrenal Gland
		The adrenal medulla: The inner portion of the adrenal gland, the adrenal medulla, is innervated by presynaptic sympathetic nerve fibers and releases the catecholamines, adrenalin (epinephrine) and noradrenalin (norepinephrine), whenever the sympathetic nervous system is activated.
		The adrenal cortex: The outer portion of the adrenal gland, the adrenal cortex, is involved in synthesis and secretion of the adrenal "corticosteroids," notably cortisol and aldosterone and their numerous metabolites.
		Adrenal tumors may cause virilization in females, feminization in males and a return to uterine bleeding in postmenopausal females, depending on the nature of the steroid that the tumor produces in excess.
