The adrenal glands play crucial roles in regulating metabolism, blood pressure, immune system function, and response to stress through the secretion of hormones. Despite their critical functions, the adrenal glands are often overlooked in studies on the effects of potential toxicants. Research across human, animal, and in vitro studies has identified more than 60 compounds that can induce adrenocortical toxicity.
