The gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) are the major source of steroid hormones in the body, including testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. The adrenal medulla produces catecholamines (such as adrenaline and noradrenaline), not steroid hormones. The thyroid produces thyroid hormones, not steroids. The pituitary gland produces various hormones that regulate other glands in the body, but it does not directly produce steroid hormones.
