Question

Steroid hormones are produced by steroidogenic tissue of & gonads. Adrenal tissue produces corticosteroids: glucocorticoids (cortisol, corticosterone, cortisone) & mineralocorticoids (like, aldosterone). Corticosteroids play important roles in carbohydrate metabolism a mineralocorticoids in electrolyte balance. Tissues of gonads produce sex steroids: androgens (musculinizing), estrogens(feminizing), progestin (related to pregnancy). Testes produce testosterone (male sex hormone) & ovary produces & secretes mainly estradiol & progesterone. Placenta additional source of estrogens & progestins: during

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

Adrenal tissue produces corticosteroids:

Glucocorticoids

1) Cortisol : liver, fat, muscle

2) Corticosterone : Steroid Hormone

3) Cortisone : Steroid Hormones

Mineralocorticoids

1) Aldosterone : distal tubule and cortical collecting duct

Tissues of Gonads produce sex steroids:

Androgens : Uterus , Mammary Glands

Estrogen : Uterus ,Mammary Glands,Other body cells involve in female sexual characteristics

Progestins : Uterus, ovary, breast, bone marrow and brain

Testosterone: Male reproductive organs

Estradiol : Treat symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation
