AB  - Adrenal  insufficiency  results  when  the  physiologic  demand  for  glucocorticoids  and  mineralocorticoids  exceeds  the  supply  from  the  adrenal  cortex.  The  pituitary  secretes  adrenocorticotropin  hormone  (ACTH)  and  associated  melanocyte  stimulating  hormone  (MSH).  ACTH  stimulates  the  adrenal  cortex  to  secrete  cortisol.  Cortisol  has  negative  feedback  on  the  pituitary  to  inhibit  secretion  of  ACTH  and  MSH.
