Simply speaking, adrenal malfunction is nothing but fat deficiency. However, before you confuse it with less body fat and get all excited, this in no way helps you look or feel better. Our body has two adrenal glands that are located atop each kidney and look like mushrooms. These glands are a part of the endocrine system of our body and are also known as the chemical policeman that regulates the functions of our mind and body.
One of the most important functions of the epinephrine hormone secreted from adrenal glands is to calm down the body in times of emergencies. Thus, excess or deficient production of the same can cause hormonal imbalance and exhaustion of adrenal medulla. Some other side-effects of adrenal malfunction are low metabolic energy, loss of appetite or increased hunger, irregular sugar level and a disturbed immune response.
The treatment of adrenal malfunction varies depending on the cause of the problem and type of symptoms.
