Adrenal cortex renewal in health and disease

Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2021
Resident progenitor and/or stem cell populations in the adult adrenal cortex enable cortical cells to undergo homeostatic renewal and regeneration after injury. Renewal occurs predominantly in the outer layers of the adrenal gland but newly formed cells undergo centripetal migration, differentiation and lineage conversion in the process of forming the ...

Diseases of the adrenal cortex

Disease-a-Month, 1988
The 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 ...

Diseases of the adrenal cortex

Current Diagnostic Pathology, 2000
Abstract The development and differentiation of the adrenal cortex and the maintenance of normal functional zonation is effected by the interaction of classical hormones and local factors, such as growth factors and cytokines, produced by cortical and stromal cells and neurotransmitters released from the cortical plexus.

ADRENAL CORTEX IN SYSTEMIC DISEASE

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1943
With the extraction of an active substance by Swingle and Pfiffner1and Hartman and Brownell2in 1930 and the more recent isolation of potent crystalline compounds by Reichstein3and Kendall and his associates,4great advances have been made in the knowledge of the physiology of the cortex of the adrenal gland.

THE ADRENAL CORTEX, STEROIDS, AND HYALINE MEMBRANE DISEASE

Pediatrics, 1971
The paper by Naeye, et al.,1 in this issue reports a very interesting relation between adrenal gland size and the presence of hyaline membrane disease in newborn infants. Those infants with hyaline membrane disease had smaller adrenal glands than weight matched control infants, due to a decreased number of cells in both the permanent and fetal zones of
