Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cushing’s syndrome is the result of excessive corticosteroids in the body. The main cause is overproduction of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) in the pituitary gland. ACTH causes the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids, so too much of ACTH means too much of corticosteroids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cushing’s syndrome is caused by constant, high levels of cortisol, a key glucocorticoid hormone. The growth of a tumor on one of the two adrenal glands causes about 15% of all cases of Cushing’s syndrome. Adrenal tumors secrete cortisol and may be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
