Adrenals
• adrenal cortex
mineralocorticoids: aldosterone (salt)
glucocorticoids: cortisol (sugar)
androgens (sex)
• adrenal medulla
catecholamines (adrenaline or epinephrine)

Adrenocortical disorders
* Adrenocortical hyperfunction:- mineralocorticoid excess- glucocorticoid excess- androgen excess
* Adrenocortical hypofunction- primary (Addison’s disease)- secondary
* Non-functional adrenocortical tumors

Jerome W. Conn
Professor of Medicine at University of Michigan; research devoted to adaptations to tropical heat.
At the Annual Meeting of the Central Society for ClinicalResearch (1954):
“I have prepared no comprehensive review of my personal philosophy of clinical investigation.Instead, I plan to make a scientific report to youabout a clinical syndrome, the investigation of
which has been most exciting to me.”

Jerome W. Conn
34-year-old woman (in 1954)
Since 7 years attacks of muscle spasm and muscle weaknessSince 4 years: arterial hypertension (176/104 mmHg)
Severe hypokalemia (K: 1.6 – 2.5 mmol/l)Slight hypernatremia (Na: 146 – 151 mmol/l)
Intraperitoneal administration of urine of this women to adrenalectomized rats resulted in a 22 times greatermineralocorticoid effect than urine of healthy humans
