The Interplay between Estrogen and Fetal Adrenal Cortex [PDF]
Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2012 Estrogen is a steroid hormone that regulates embryogenesis, cell proliferation and differentiation, organogenesis, the timing of parturition, and fetal imprinting by carrying chemical messages from glands to cells within tissues or organs in the body ...

Embryonic Development and Adult Regeneration of the Adrenal Gland [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 The adrenal gland plays a pivotal role in an organism’s health span by controlling the endocrine system. Decades of research on the adrenal gland have provided multiscale insights into the development and maintenance of this essential organ.

Comparison of miRNA expression profiles in pituitary–adrenal axis between Beagle and Chinese Field dogs after chronic stress exposure [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 MicoRNAs (miRNAs), usually as gene regulators, participate in various biological processes, including stress responses. The hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA axis) is an important pathway in regulating stress response.

Vascular and hormonal interactions in the adrenal gland
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Primary aldosteronism is the most common form of secondary arterial hypertension, due to excessive aldosterone production from the adrenal gland. Although somatic mutations have been identified in aldosterone producing adenoma, the exact mechanisms ...

Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1958 This presentation has attempted to summarize the role of the adrenal cortex in health and disease. The medical conditions for which cortisone therapy has been employed have been listed, in order to alert the anaesthetist to the possibility of previous treatment with steroids m patients who are suffering or have suffered at any time from these diseases.

Carcinoma of the Adrenal Cortex [PDF]
Cancer, 1980 Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare tumor that affects all ages and sexes and has a dismal prognosis. Half are functional, half are not. Early stages are uncommon and are detected by their endocrine effects, usually in females, as incidental findings at surgery or on computed tomography scans.

A histological study on the developing adrenal gland in human fetuses
National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2021 Background: Adrenal gland has an outer cortex and inner medulla that vary structurally, functionally, and embryologically. The developing gland plays a major role in concordance development of various viscera of the fetus and in parturition.

The involvement of Nek2 and Notch in the proliferation of rat adrenal cortex triggered by POMC-derived peptides. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The adrenal gland is a dynamic organ that undergoes constant cell turnover. This allows for rapid organ remodeling in response to the physiological demands of the HPA axis, which is controlled by proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides, such as ...
