I. The adrenal medulla does not regenerate, but when the inner two zones of the cortex are removed, a new ZF and ZR regenerate from glomerular cells attached to the capsule.
II. Immediately after hypophysectomy, the ZF and ZR begin to atrophy, whereas the ZG is unchanged because of the action of angiotensin II on this zone. 
III. The ability to secrete aldosterone and conserve Na+ is normal for some time after hypophysectomy, but in longstanding hypopituitarism, aldosterone deficiency may develop, apparently because of the absence of a pituitary factor that maintains the responsiveness of the zona glomerulosa.
