Adrenal Gland Neoplasm, Hypertension
Clinical and Molecular Characteristics of Primary Aldosteronism in Blacks
Background: The adrenal gland makes the hormone aldosterone. This helps regulate blood pressure. An adrenal gland tumor that makes too much aldosterone can cause high blood pressure and low potassium.

Adrenal Gland Hyperfunction, Adrenal Gland Hypofunction
Dose Response Relationship for Single Doses of Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) in Normal Volunteers and in Patients With Adrenal Insufficiency
Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) is a hypothalamic hormone made up of 41 amino acids. Amino acids are proteins that when combined make up different substances, like hormones.
