It's not the pituitary gland, but this organ is tested with the insulin tolerance test. The binding of CRF to the pituitary gland releases a hormone that stimulates this organ. Heightened activity of this organ leads to a high ARR, as overproduction of one hormone from this organ dangerously depresses renin levels. This last organ in the HPA axis produces too much aldosterone in Conn's Syndrome. This organ's zona fasciculata is overactive in Cushing’s disease, overproducing the anti-stress hormone cortisol. For 10 points, name these glands that also produce the catecholamine hormone epinephrine.
