no my dear.. insulin is secreted from beta cells of pancrease... though Insulin like peptides are secreted from many other cells of body.. zona glomerulosa is specialised for a family of steroid named mineralocorticoid synthesis.... although a bit of glucocorticoid and gonadocorticoid synthesis may take place in a very negligible amount!
