Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adrenal glands are responsible for producing hormones such as cortisol, which helps regulate stress responses and energy levels. Irregular mood swings, decreased energy, and difficulty coping with stress are all potential symptoms of adrenal gland dysfunction. The other gland options listed (pituitary, pineal, and thymus) do not have as direct a connection to these particular symptoms.
