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 ...

The adrenal cortex and the kidney
Kidney International, 1974 The adrenal cortex regulates renal function in a number of important ways; indeed, normal renal function cannot be understood without recognition of such regulation. Well-recognized examples of such regulation are the control of body fluid tonicity through regulation of urinary solute concentration-a function controlled “primarily” by vasopressin, but ...

Addiction and the adrenal cortex [PDF]
Endocrine Connections, 2013 Substantial evidence shows that the hypophyseal–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and corticosteroids are involved in the process of addiction to a variety of agents, and the adrenal cortex has a key role. In general, plasma concentrations of cortisol (or corticosterone in rats or mice) increase on drug withdrawal in a manner that suggests correlation with ...

Adrenal cortex development and related disorders leading to adrenal insufficiency. [PDF]
, 2021 The adult human adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones that are crucial for life, supporting immune response, glucose homeostasis, salt balance and sexual maturation. It consists of three histologically distinct and functionally specialized zones.

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.

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.
