From the reference :

I. Addison’s Disease d. ACTH - Addison's disease occurs when the cortex is damaged and doesn't produce its hormones in adequate quantities. The pituitary gland makes a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce its hormones. Inadequate production of ACTH can lead to insufficient production of hormones normally produced by the adrenal glands.

II. Cushing’s Syndrome c. Cortisols - This disease can be attributed to an excess of cortisol. Often tumours of the adrenal cortex result in overproduction of cortisol.

III. Aldosteronism e. Aldosterone - Aldosteronism is a disease caused by high levels of aldosterone, often due to an adrenocortical tumour.

IV. Gynaecomastia b. Estrogen in Males - Men start producing excessive quantities of estrogen, they experience breast enlargement, or gynaecomastia.

V. Adrenal Virilism a. Androgen in Females - Adrenal virilism is seen in women who produce excess amounts of androgens, from the adrenal cortex. This leads to the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, like a beard, moustache and deepening of voice.
