Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1980
The fetal adrenal cortex is the central steroid modulator in the fetal placental complex. Its anatomic structure and physiology clearly identify it as a uniquely fetal organ that undergoes atrophy to a fraction of its intrauterine size after birth and assumes markedly different steroidogenic functions on the assumption of extrauterine life.

Physiology of the Adrenal Cortex
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1989Knowledge of the functional morphology and physiology of the adrenal cortex and of the regulation of its secretory products is essential to understanding the meaning of the results of various tests in the diagnosis of adrenocortical disease and to providing the postoperative care necessary to correct this condition.

Diseases of the adrenal cortex
Disease-a-Month, 1988The adrenal cortex is functionally a three-dimensional gland that secretes glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and sex steroids. Of these three classes of steroids only the gluco- and mineralocorticoid hormones are necessary to sustain life. The availability of sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays has permitted accurate measurement of practically ...

Abstract Three cases of adrenal cortical disease have been presented. These three demonstrate every variety of symptom complex which has sometimes been called the adreno-syndrome with the last case falling into the category of Cushing's syndrome.

ADENOMAS OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1948ADENOMAS of the adrenal cortex are reported in 1.45 to 33 per cent of all autopsies,1and they have been considered to be of significance in hypertension and diabetes mellitus.2This study represents an attempt to determine the incidence of adenomas of the adrenal cortex and to ascertain whether they occur more often in patients with hypertensive ...

Hitherto unrecorded “atrophic” changes are described in the zona glomerulosa of both adrenals from a patient with a unilateral cortical adenoma. It is suggested that the adenoma was secreting aldosterone at approximately the correct physiological rate permitting the ipsilateral and contralateral zona glomerulosa to atrophy without causing clinical ...

The adrenal cortex and virilization
Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1985The physiological control of adrenal androgen secretion has not been definitively established. However, there is evidence to suggest that a dexamethasone-suppressible factor other than ACTH may have a specific role to play. The majority of patients with idiopathic hirsutism (hirsutism associated with regular menstruation) have findings suggestive of ...

Adenohypophysis and Adrenal Cortex
Annual Review of Physiology, 1960The mammalian adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids, mineralocorti coids, androgens, and estrogens. This review is concerned with the adrenal synthesis of each of these classes of compounds and with the regulation of their secretion, metabolism, and excretion.

Adenohypophysis and Adrenal Cortex
Annual Review of Physiology, 1961This review of the functions of the adrenal cortex and the adenohypophy sis will be concerned mainly with the control of secretions from these glands and the mode of action of their hormones, with emphasis on the pertinent aspects of human physiology and patho-physiology.

Abstract The aforementioned comments of the effects of adrenal cortical tumors have been necessarily limited by the extensiveness of the subject. However, we have mentioned briefly the relation of the adrenal cortex to electrolyte and carbohydrate metabolism and to the various changes in secondary sex characteristics which are seen in patients with ...
