Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and the Adrenal Gland: From Toxicity to Endocrine Disruption
Toxics, 2021 Endocrine disruptors are exogenous compounds that pollute the environment and have effects similar to hormones when inside the body. One of the most widespread endocrine disruptors in the wild is the pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). Toxic

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Childhood cancer and cancer‐related treatments disrupt brain development and maturation, placing survivors at risk for cognitive late effects. Given that assessment tools vary widely across researchers and clinicians, it has been daunting to identify distinct patterns in outcomes across diverse cancer types and to implement ...

Age-related Changes in the Adrenal Cortex: Insights and Implications
Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2023 Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in physiological function. This process affects all organs including the adrenal cortex, which normally functions to produce essential steroid hormones including mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 2, Page 314-335, February 2023., 2023 The main objective of this work was to obtain detailed information on the distribution and localization of the spexin (Spx) system in the sea bass brain. To this purpose, we first identified and characterized the spx1 gene and analyzed its expression in the central nervous system (CNS) of the European sea bass by using quantitative Real‐Time Polymerase

The Sexually Dimorphic Adrenal Cortex: Implications for Adrenal Disease
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Many adrenocortical diseases are more prevalent in women than in men, but the reasons underlying this sex bias are still unknown. Recent studies involving gonadectomy and sex hormone replacement experiments in mice have shed some light onto the molecular

Challenging Diagnosis of Addison’s Disease Presenting with Adrenal Crisis
Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2021 Primary adrenal insufficiency, also known as Addison’s disease, is a rare but potentially fatal condition resulting from the failure of the adrenal cortex to produce glucocorticoid and/or mineralocorticoid hormones.

A spatiotemporal steroidogenic regulatory network in human fetal adrenal glands and gonads
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Human fetal adrenal glands produce substantial amounts of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is one of the most important precursors of sex hormones. However, the underlying biological mechanism remains largely unknown. Herein, we sequenced human fetal

Effect of different types of stress on adrenal gland parameters and adrenal hormones in the blood serum of male Wistar rats [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2009 In the present study, we examined gross changes in the mass of whole adrenal glands and that of the adrenal cortex and medulla in mature male Wistar rats subjected to three different stress types: acute, chronic, and combined, i.e., chronic followed by ...
