Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of which one of the following?

1. Aldosterone
2. Both Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone
3. Adrenaline
4. Cortisol

Correct answer: Adrenaline

Solution

The adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones such as aldosterone, cortisol, and adrenal androgens. Adrenaline is secreted by the adrenal medulla, so cortical injury would not directly reduce its secretion.
