$\red{\mathbb{ANSWER}}$

Adrenal Gland

Hypoglycemia - Finally, we look at the glucocorticoids. The main culprit here is cortisol which is involved in stress responses and metabolism.

Sexual development- Another type of corticosteroid is Gonadocorticoids, these are a group of sx hormones (sorry, I have to censor this as it is categorised as offensive language). The male sx hormones (androgens) are produced in small amountsSalt cravings - The most important mineralocorticoid is Aldosterone. This hormone helps to maintain the body's salt and water levels.
