<h4>Background: </h4> Adrenal cortex cells proliferate to produce sufficient cortisol in response to stress by activating the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. In humans, such morphological changes are too mild to be observed. 21-hydroxylase deficiency was the most common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and chronically elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone level stimulated by cortisol insuffi...
