Sex hormone secretion by the adrenal cortex
1962The production of sex hormones by congenital hyperplasias or malignancies of the adrenal cortex has long been recognized as suggestive of a biochemical relationship between the adrenal cortex and the gonads. The embryological origin of these tissues from adjacent portions of the dorsal mesentery provided a plausible background for similarities (Poll ...

Adrenal cortex response to adrenocorticotropic hormone in dairy cattle
Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 1994Adult dairy cows were treated with a range of doses (0.0125mg to 0.4mg) of synthetic ACTH1-24 and the plasma cortisol response was measured. Peak response was independent of dose. Higher doses of ACTH had a more prolonged effect such that the integrated response was dose dependent. Dose response curves were examined by regression analyses.

The effect of microwaves on the hormonal activity of the adrenal cortex
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1962The histochemical method (silver impregnation according to Giroud and Leblond for ascorbic acid. sudan staining of lipoids) and polarization microscopy were used for studying the effect of a single exposure to microwave radiation on the hormonal activity of the adrenal cortex.

[68] Isolation of adrenal cortex cells—Hormone responses
1974Publisher Summary Suspensions of cells, freshly isolated from the organism, offer a number of advantages for the study of hormone action. They can be prepared within a few hours by methods that demand attention to detail but present no great technical difficulties.

Regulation by ACTH of steroid hormone biosynthesis in the adrenal cortex
Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1983In this article, current knowledge about the mechanism of action of ACTH will be reviewed. Emphasis will be placed on events which occur subsequent to binding of ACTH to its receptor, stimulation of adenylate cyclase, and activation of protein kinase. In the first part of the review, the acute action of ACTH will be discussed with emphasis on present ...

Effect of Chlorphentermine on Hormone Content and Function of the Adrenal Cortex in Rats [PDF]
Hormone and Metabolic Research, 1979 Amphiphilic drugs like chlorphentermine induce a generalized lipid storage disease upon chronic application. The adrenal cortex is among the organs most heavily affected. We therefore determined the urinary corticosterone excretion during the treatment of rats with chlorphentermine and the corticosterone content of the adrenals and its blood level at ...

CORTIN, VITAL HORMONE OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX*
Endocrinology, 1930The cortex of the adrenal gland produces a hormone which is essential to life. Without it appetite fails, weight is lost and marked muscular weakness develops ultimately leading to prostration and death. We have already described a method by which a dilute solution of this hormone can be prepared (1).

HORMONE STUDIES IN A CASE OF ADRENOGENITALISM DUE TO NEOPLASM OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1951THE occurrence of large amounts of androgen in the urine of humans with adrenogenitalism resulting from adrenal cortical neoplasia is well known (1). Little is known concerning the hormone content of the tumors themselves. Except for the report of Slot (2), who found in the tumor of a patient with adrenogenitalism a “ quantity of male and female ...

Hormonal Physiology of the Ovary and Adrenal Cortex
1987The central mission of the ovary is to provide fertilizable ova, but it also has a complicated secondary agenda, made possible by the fact that it secretes steroidal and possibly nonsteroidal hormones: (1) the long-term project, beginning in intrauterine life and extending through puberty, of developing the genital organs and the secondary sex ...

Male aging and hormones: the adrenal cortex.
Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2005The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in the aging male (adrenopause) is characterized by an unexplained reduction of DHEA secretion while ACTH and cortisol show no major changes, except for a lower amplitude of 24-h fluctuations and a tendency to higher cortisol values in the evening and night (especially in dementia).
