GlossaryAdrenal Hormones

chemicals from adrenal glands that regulate stress and metabolism

Adrenal hormones are chemicals produced by the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. These hormones include cortisol, which helps regulate metabolism and stress response; aldosterone, which controls blood pressure by managing sodium and potassium levels; and adrenaline (epinephrine), which prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses. These hormones play crucial roles in maintaining various bodily functions and responding to stress.
