Age-related Changes in the Adrenal Cortex: Insights and Implications

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The Sexually Dimorphic Adrenal Cortex: Implications for Adrenal Disease

open access: yesInternational 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

Adrenal cortex development and maintenance; knowledge acquired from mouse models.

open access: yesEndocrinology, 2021
The adrenal cortex is an endocrine organ organized into concentric zones that are specialized to produce specific steroid hormones essential for life. The development and maintenance of the adrenal cortex are complex, as a fetal adrenal is first formed ...

Challenging Diagnosis of Addison’s Disease Presenting with Adrenal Crisis

open access: yesCase 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.

Late diagnosis of primary chronic adrenal insufficiency in the framework of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2. Clinical observation

open access: yesЛечащий Врач, 2023
Chronic adrenal insufficiency is caused by insufficient secretion of hormones by the adrenal cortex due to dysfunction of one or more links of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system.

A spatiotemporal steroidogenic regulatory network in human fetal adrenal glands and gonads

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Imbalanced cortisol concentrations in glycogen storage disease type I: evidence for a possible link between endocrine regulation and metabolic derangement

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background Glycogen storage disease type I (GSDI) is an inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism caused by mutations of either the G6PC gene (GSDIa) or the SLC37A4 gene (GSDIb).

Effect of different types of stress on adrenal gland parameters and adrenal hormones in the blood serum of male Wistar rats [PDF]

open access: yesArchives 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 ...

Plasma ACTH, α-MSH and cortisol variations in the dog during the oestrous cycle in different photoperiods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a complex system regulated by multiple factors.Sexual dimorphism of this axis has been described in different species under physiological conditions and it hasbeen proposed that sexual hormones could have ...
