Comparison of liver-glycogen deposition and work performance tests for the bio-assay of adrenal cortex hormones.

Endocrinology, 1947
FOR THE BIO-ASSAY of adrenal cortical hormone preparations the survival-growth test (Cartland and Kuizenga, 1936) is of value, since it is responsive to the composite activity of adrenal cortex extracts with respect to both the known compounds and ...

The effect of season on the circulating concentrations of anterior pituitary, ovarian and adrenal cortex hormones and hormone binding proteins in the subarctic area; evidence of increased activity of the pituitary-ovarian axis in spring.

Gynecological Endocrinology, 1987
To evaluate the effects of season on the function of the pituitary-ovarian axis and the adrenal cortex in a northern area with great seasonal variation in the length of daylight, 10 healthy women were investigated over 1 menstrual cycle in spring (May ...

The Vital Hormone of the Adrenal Cortex

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1931
Excerpt It has been known for many years that the adrenal glands are essential to life; but Wheeler and Vincent were the first to prove, at least in mammals, that the medulla was not essential.

Depressive affect and endocrine functions; blood levels of adrenal cortex and thyroid hormones in patients suffering from depressive reactions.

A M A Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry, 1957
The significance of the adrenal cortex and the thyroid gland in the adaptation of the body to stressful life situations has been a subject of increasing interest in recent years.

Cytotoxic action of hormones of the adrenal cortex according to the method of unstained cell counts.

Endocrinology, 1949
The reactions of cells to x-rays (Schrek, 1946) and nitrogen mustard (Schrek, 1947) have been studied previously by the method of unstained cell counts.

The role of hormones in adipose tissue glycogen synthesis in the rat; the adrenal cortex.

Endocrinology, 1951
KNOWLEDGE concerning the role of the adrenal cortex in fat metabolism is fragmentary and, in many cases, contradictory. This subject was reviewed by Ingle in 1943 and the present status of the problem may be summarized briefly as follows.

Metabolism of steroid hormones in adrenal cortex tumor cultures.

Endocrinology, 1967
Six steroids with absorption maxima at 240 mμ secreted by the tissue culture system of a mouse adrenal cortex tumor have been extracted from the growth medium of the cultures.

Aldosterone: The minority hormone of the adrenal cortex

Steroids, 1995
In comparison with the glucocorticoids cortisol and corticosterone, the mineralocorticoid aldosterone is a minority hormone of the mammalian adrenal cortex, and its proper function is dependent upon protective physiological mechanisms. These include a particular site of aldosterone synthesis in zona glomerulosa cells as well as a complex multifactorial

HORMONE-SECRETING TUMORS OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX IN CHILDREN

Pediatrics, 1966
In 12 children with hyperadrenocorticism caused by tumor of the adrenal cortex the most common clinical picture was that of a mixture of adrenogenital and Cushing's syndromes. All tumors were surgically removed; adrenal steroids were used in the preparation of 11 patients for operation.

A COMPARISON OF THE INFLUENCE OF SOME CRYSTALLINE HORMONES OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX ON THE DEPOSITION OF GLYCOGEN IN THE LIVER

, 1943
THE DEVELOPMENT of a method for the bioassay of the hormones of the adrenal cortex which influence the deposition of glycogen in the liver of the fasted rat (Reinecke and Kendall, 1942) has afforded an opportunity to compare the action of various ...
