Glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgenic classes of hormones are secreted by the adrenal cortex. What disease results from their prolonged secretions?
Explanation
Answer - D - Prolonged secretions of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgenic classes of hormones can results in Cushing’s disease. The disease is characterized by increased blood sugar levels, unusual body fat distribution, and rapid mood swings. If electrolyte imbalances occur as a result of this disease, serious complications may arise, including cardiac dysrhythmia, coma, and death. This condition is usually caused by a tumor.
