The Interplay between Estrogen and Fetal Adrenal Cortex
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 ...

Concurrence of overt Cushing’s syndrome and primary aldosteronism accompanied by aldosterone-producing cell cluster in adjacent adrenal cortex: case report [PDF]
Background Various adrenal disorders including primary aldosteronism and Cushing’s syndrome lead to the cause of hypertension. Although primary aldosteronism is sometimes complicated with preclinical Cushing’s syndrome, concurrence of overt Cushing’s ...

The Innervation of the Adrenal Cortex
1. The distribution and termination of nerve fibers in the mammalian and avian adrenal cortices was histologically investigated in sections treated with a modification of the Bielschowsky silver-impregnation method.2. Juxtacapsular ganglia were found in the monkey and dog.

Comparison of miRNA expression profiles in pituitary–adrenal axis between Beagle and Chinese Field dogs after chronic stress exposure [PDF]
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
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 ...

Carcinoma of the Adrenal Cortex [PDF]
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.
