<prompt> Which of the following would be associated with parallel changes in aldosterone and coisol secretion?Addisons diseaseCushings diseaseCushings syndromeConns syndrome  <response>: Addisons disease results from an inability of the adrenal coices to produce sufficient adrenocoical hormones. Persons with Addisons disease have diminished secretion of both glucocoicoids coisol and mineralocoicoids aldosterone. Hypersecretion by the adrenal coex causes a complex cascade of hormone effects called Cushings syndrome. When Cushings syndrome is secondary to excess secretion of ACTH by the anterior pituitary, this condition is referred to as Cushings disease. In persons with Cushings disease or Cushings syndrome, coisol secretion is elevated but aldosterone secretion is normal. Occasionally a small tumor of the zona glomerulosa cells occurs and secretes large amounts of aldosterone; the resulting condition is called primary aldosteronism or Conns syndrome.
