    The document discusses the physiology of secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex. It covers the adrenal cortex, the biosynthesis of hormones produced by the adrenal cortex including cortisol, aldosterone, and sex steroids. The regulation of cortisol and aldosterone secretion by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is also summarized.

     Called as adrenal androgens


     Secretion increases at puberty,peaks at about 20 yrs and
    then declines slowly
     Secretion is controlled by ACTH
