Q. Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of which one of the following?
A) Cortisol
B) Aldosterone
C) Both Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone
D) Adrenaline

[Solution from source] Adrenaline (epinephrine) is made by the adrenal medulla, so damage to the cortex leaves it unaffected. The cortex makes glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) and adrenal androgens such as DHEA and androstenedione. Answer (4).
