Question

Give the list of all adrenaline hormones so as to explain any one of it.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The tree hormones that are produced by the adrenal glands are-

1) Mineralocorticoids

2) Glucocorticoids

3) Adrenal androgens

Explanation:

The adrenal cortex produces three hormones:

1) Mineralocorticoids: the most important of which is aldosterone. This hormone helps to maintain the body’s salt and water levels which, in turn, regulates blood pressure. Without aldosterone, the kidney loses excessive amounts of salt (sodium) and, consequently, water, leading to severe dehydration and low blood pressure.

 

2) Glucocorticoids: predominantly cortisol. This hormone is involved in the response to illness and also helps to regulate body metabolism. Cortisol stimulates glucose production helping the body to free up the necessary ingredients from storage (fat and muscle) to make glucose. Cortisol also has significant anti-inflammatory effects.

 

3) Adrenal androgens: male sex hormones mainly dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and testosterone. All have weak effects, but play a role inPrecocious puberty' data-content='1268' > early development of the male sex organs in childhood, and female body hair during puberty.

Answer 2

Adrenaline hormones are Mineralocorticoids, Glucocorticoids, and Adrenal androgens.

Explanation:

Mineralocorticoids:

• Mineralocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones that regulate salt and water balances.
• Aldosterone is the primary mineralocorticoid.
• Mineralocorticoids promote sodium and potassium transport, usually followed by changes in water balance.
• A group of hormones that regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body.
• The mineralocorticoid hormones act on the kidney (and specifically on the tubules of the kidney).
• Mineralocorticoids are used as replacement therapy in aldosterone deficiency and as prophylaxis against hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency.
