Familial Micronodular Adrenocortical Disease, Cushing Syndrome, and Mutations of the Gene Encoding Phosphodiesterase 11A4 ( PDE11A) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present the pathologic findings in the adrenal glands of 4 patients, aged 10 to 38 years, with Cushing syndrome and germline inactivating mutations of the gene PDE11A4 that encodes phosphodiesterase11A4. The gene is expressed in the adrenal cortex and

Functional zonation of the rat adrenal cortex: the development and maintenance

open access: yesProceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences, 2014
The adrenal cortex of mammals consists of three concentric zones, i.e., the zona glomerulosa (zG), the zona fasciculata (zF), and the zona reticularis (zR), which secrete mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and adrenal androgens, respectively.

Bidirectional Interaction Between the Brain and Bone in Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts the blood–brain barrier and activates neuroimmune responses, causing metabolic disturbances and long‐term bone mass loss. Concurrent fractures accelerate healing and enhance osteogenesis but disrupt regulatory mechanisms, leading to altered bone dynamics and exacerbating neuroinflammation, complicating recovery ...

Evaluating the role of aldosterone synthesis on adrenal cell fate

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology
Hypertension affects one-third of the adult population worldwide, with primary aldosteronism (PA) accounting for at least 5-10% of these cases. The aldosterone synthase enzyme (CYP11B2) plays a pivotal role in PA manifestation, as increased expression of

open access: yesActa Médica Portuguesa, 1979
Mean plasma cortisol 4 to 6 hours after 1 mg Synacthen Depot in normal subjects, simple goiter and hypothyroidism were not significantly different. On the contrary after stimulation cortisol levels in untreated hyperthyroidism were significantly below ...

Latent Adrenal Insufficiency: From Concept to Diagnosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is a rare disease and potentially fatal if unrecognized. It is characterized by destruction of the adrenal cortex, most frequently of autoimmune origin, resulting in glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, and adrenal ...

Genetic Evidence Supporting a Role for Brain Region Volume and Functional Network Alterations in Major Depression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide analyses indicate that reduced ventral diencephalon and thalamus volumes, along with decreased functional connectivity within the triple network (DMN/CEN/SN), are uniquely associated with the risk of major depression (MD) onset, compared to other similar severe psychiatric disorders.
