Adrenal glands create hormones and they are as follows:

• One of the glucocorticoids, cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands and then released into the blood, where it travels throughout the body. Almost all cells have cortisol receptors. Therefore, depending on the type of cells it is working with, cortisol can have a variety of distinct effects. These outcomes include influencing blood pressure, controlling blood sugar levels in the body and so regulating metabolism, serving as an anti-inflammatory, influencing memory formation, regulating salt and water balance, influencing memory formation, and assisting fetal development.

• Aldosterone is the most significant of the mineralocorticoids. This hormone aids in preserving the water and salt balance of the body, which is crucial for preserving blood pressure. When necessary, aldosterone aids the kidney in salt storage. However, an excess of aldosterone might result in low potassium levels and hypotension. Without aldosterone, the kidney loses excessive amounts of salt and, subsequently, water, which causes severe dehydration and low blood pressure.
