ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Too much of the hormone cortisol in your body causes Cushing syndrome. Cortisol, which is produced in the adrenal glands, plays a variety of roles in your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Hypersecretion from the adrenal glands is associated with hypertension. Causes include Conn syndrome, Cushing syndrome and phaechromocytoma.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cushing’s disease is considered a rare condition characterized by the hypersecretion of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) due to a pituitary adenoma that ultimately causes endogenous hypercortisolism by stimulating the adrenal glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cushing’s syndrome happens when you have too many corticosteroids in your body. When the disorder often starts with the pituitary gland, the condition is called Cushing’s syndrome. The gland makes too much adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH). That causes the adrenal glands to make too many corticosteroids.
