AB The  adrenal  cortex  produces  three  major  classes  of  steroids:  (1)  glucocorticoids,  (2)  mineralocorticoids,  and  (3)  adrenal  androgens.  Clinical  syndromes  may  result  from  deficiency  or  excess  of  these  hormones.  The  adrenal  medulla  produces  catecholamines,  with  excess  being  caused  by  a  pheochromocytoma  (Chap.  119).
