What Does This Mean?

a: The adrenal cortex ~
b: lady who has kept bad company

What: "The elusive role of the adrenal cortex in hypertension has recently been depicted in the following analogy: "The adrenal cortex is like a lady who has kept bad company and late hours for so long that, human nature being what it is, she must have sinned. Testimony has been brought against her, however, only by her few suitors who had adrenal hyperplasia or adrenal tumors. Her other friends have refrained from talking. Perhaps this is because they are gentlemen; or perhaps it is only that they do not have much to talk about."
