AbstractAdrenocortical insufficiency may arise through primary failure of the adrenal glands or due to lack of ACTH stimulation as a result of pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction. Prolonged administration of exogenous steroids will suppress the hypothalamic–pituitary‐adrenal axis, and hence cortisol secretion.

An evaluation of adrenal mass and adrenal cholesterol as measures of adrenal activity
British Poultry Science, 19821. The effects of twice daily injections of corticotrophin (1 IU/kg body weight) or restriction of food intake to 75% of normal on body mass, adrenal mass and adrenal cholesterol were determined on chicks from 1 to 21 d of age. 2. Only the birds subjected to restricted feeding showed a reduced growth rate. 3.

Adrenal insufficiency after adrenal hemorrhage
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2004Acute adrenal hemorrhage (AAH) is an extremely rare disorder, especially in adults, and may be difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific presentation. We report a case of AAH following a sepsis, resulting in persistant adrenal insufficiency contrasting with the radiologic normalisation of the adrenals on computed tomography (CT) scan imaging.

STUDIES WITH AN ADRENAL INHIBITOR IN ADRENAL CARCINOMA*
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1960ABSTRACT The production of steroids in a case of widely disseminated adrenal carcinoma was studied with SU-4885. There was a striking decrease of both C19- and C21-11-oxygenated steroids in the urine with a concomitant increase in the corresponding 11-deoxy derivatives.

The pathogenesis of adrenal and extra adrenal hyperandrogenism
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993The data reviewed in this paper suggest that a factor other than ACTH which is suppressible by treatment with glucocorticoid, plays an essential role in the regulation of adrenal androgen production. Adrenal androgen biosynthesis probably takes place exclusively in specific androgen-secreting cells.

Demonstration of Adrenal Metastases by Adrenal Venography [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 1968 Abstract Adrenal metastases were detected in five patients by means of adrenal venography. It is possible to demonstrate very small tumor nodules by the method, but because they can be identified only by displacement of normal adrenal veins, no criteria exist for differentiating a solitary metastasis from an adrenal adenoma.

Adrenal hyperandrogenism: detection by adrenal scintigraphy
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 1978Hyperandrogenism is a common endocrinopathy in women. Localization of the source of excess androgen production is mandatory for proper management. Ovarian hyperandrogenism has been implicated in the majority of patients studied, though the true prevalence of adrenal hyperandrogenism is not yet known.

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012
Adrenal incidentaloma is a common clinical problem and its prevalence, in radiological studies, comes close to that of autoptic data as a result of imaging technological advances. The diagnostic challenge is to distinguish the majority of benign lesions from other masses, either malignant or hormone secreting, which require further therapy. The imaging

Overview of adrenal imaging/adrenal CT
Urologic radiology, 1989CT is the imaging procedure of choice for the detection of most suspected adrenal masses. But except for some patients with acute adrenal hemorrhage or fat-containing myelolipoma, the precise histologic nature of an adrenal mass is not apparent from the CT image.
