| Description: The zona glomerulosa secretes hormones called mineralocorticoids used to regulate mineral homeostasis. The zona fasciculata secretes hormones called glucocorticoids that affect glucose homeostasis. The zona reticularis secretes weak androgens (hormones with masculinizing effects). Aldosterone is the major mineralocorticoid secreted by the adrenal gland. It helps regulate sodium and potassium homeostasis. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) pathway controls secretion of aldosterone.
