Patients with Addison's disease can display a number of symptoms related to hypoaldosteronism (low mineralocorticoid synthesis), in addition to reductions in glucocorticoid levels. As a result, you might expect to see the following symptom in such patients: A. cataracts B. hair loss C. hypotension D. increased hair loss E. water retention

Chronically high levels of glucocorticoids can result in obesity, muscle weakness, and depression, a combination of symptoms called Cushing's syndrome. Excessive activity of either the pituitary or the adrenal gland can be the cause. To determine which gland has abnormal activity in a particular patient, doctors use the drug dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid that blocks ACTH release. Based on the graph, which gland is affected in patient X?
