Formation of mineral corticoids: Among the hormones synthesized in the zona glomerulosa are aldosterone and corticosterone. The output for the production of these hormones is cholesterol via pregnenolone and progesterone. Through further enzymatic changes (hydroxylation, oxidation) the mineral corticosteroids are finally produced. The corticosterone formed is converted to aldosterone. The receptor is located intracellularly, there … Mineral Corticoids

Formation of calcitonin: The hormone of the thyroid gland calcitonin consists of protein and is therefore a peptide hormone. In contrast to T3 – T4 hormone, this hormone is produced in the C-cells of the thyroid (parafollicular cells). The effect of this hormone unfolds on the bones, in which the bone-destroying cells (osteoclasts) are inhibited. … Calcitonin
