Desoxy- actions of these hormones extend to almost every cell in corticosterone, a mineralocorticoid produced in the the body. Steroid Biosynthesis Although the adrenal cortex is primarily involved in the STEROID PHYSIOLOGY synthesis and secretion of corticosteroids, it is also ca- pable of producing and secreting such steroid interme- diates as progesterone, androgens, and estrogens. The Anatomy of the Adrenal Cortex adrenal gland synthesizes steroids from cholesterol, The mammalian adrenal cortex is divided into three which is derived from plasma lipoproteins via the low- concentric zones: the zona glomerulosa, zona fascicu- and high-density lipoprotein pathways.
