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.

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.

Experimental Gerontology, 1998
Aging in humans is accompanied by an increase in adrenal glucocorticoid secretion and a decline in adrenal androgen synthesis and secretion. The intense interest in adrenal function in aging individuals in recent years is in large measure related to the potential impact of cortisol excess in the development of cognitive impairment and hippocampal ...

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.

The Neuroendocrinology of the Adrenal Cortex
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 1994AbstractAlthough until relatively recently assumed to be devoid of innervation, there is now ample proof that the adrenal cortex receives specific neurones of several types. A general interpretation of their roles in the regulation of adrenocortical function has not been forthcoming, probably because of the variety of the different experimental ...

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 ...

Hypertrophy of the adrenal cortex
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1985The human adrenal cortex in essential hypertension and in the salt-losing form of the adrenogenital syndrome and the adrenal cortex in spontaneously hypertensive rats were studied by morphometry. Under long-term functional loading hypertrophy of adrenocortical cells is the common way of increasing the mass of the cortex.

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 ...
