what do adrenal glands regulate
These are produced within the inside portion of the adrenal glands, called the medulla. These hormones help to regulate your reaction to stress. Cortisol also helps regulate your metabolism, sugar levels, and blood pressure. The adrenal glands are controlled by the pituitary gland, another part of the endocrine system. Located in the head, this is the main controller of endocrine glands. Abnormal signals can disrupt the amount of hormones the pituitary gland tells the adrenal glands to produce.
