Addisons disease results from ......... of adrenal cortex.

Answer 1

Addison's disease, also called adrenal insufficiency, is an uncommon disorder that occurs when your body doesn't produce enough of certain hormones [mineralocorticoids] by the adrenal cortex. In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands, located just above your kidneys, produce too little cortisol and, often, too little aldosterone.
