Endocrinology | Adrenal Gland: Gonadocorticoids

Official Ninja Nerd Website: https://ninjanerd.org Ninja Nerds! In this endocrine physiology lecture, Professor Zach Murphy discusses the gonadocorticoids, the group of sex steroid hormones produced by the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex. This lecture highlights the role of adrenal androgens—particularly dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione—in both male and female physiology and their relevance in clinical conditions. We begin by reviewing how these hormones are synthesized under the influence of ACTH and how they serve as precursors to testosterone and estrogens in peripheral tissues. While their effects are minimal in adult males (where testicular androgens dominate), adrenal androgens play a significant role in pubic and axillary hair development, libido, and estrogen production in females, especially after menopause.
