The document discusses various aspects of the adrenal gland including:
1. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and controls cortisol output. It stimulates cyclic AMP synthesis in the adrenal cortex.
2. Aldosterone secretion is controlled by the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system and increased by factors like sodium levels.
3. Effects of increased cortisol include inhibition of growth and inflammation, and stimulation of protein catabolism.
