Rat adrenal medulla modular organization
Relevance. The concept of the tissue morpho-functional units (modules) of the adrenal medulla is currently not fully developed for adrenaline-storing (A-) cells and completely undeveloped for noradrenaline-storing (NA-) cells. Aim.

Case Report: Three Rare Cases of Ectopic ACTH Syndrome Caused by Adrenal Medullary Hyperplasia
Ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) accounts for 10–20% of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS). Hardly any cases of adrenal medullary hyperplasia have been reported to ectopically secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

Post-Mortem Immunohistochemical Evidence of β2-Adrenergic Receptor Expression in the Adrenal Gland [PDF]
The evidence from post-mortem biochemical studies conducted on cortisol and catecholamines suggest that analysis of the adrenal gland could provide useful information about its role in human pathophysiology and the stress response.

Morphological and Histological Studies on the Adrenal Gland of the Chicken (Gallus domesticus)
Morphological and histological studies of the adrenal gland of the adult White Leghorn chicken (Gallus domesticus) were performed. Macro- and microscopic observations of azan- or formal-dichromate stained (to observe the chromaffin reaction of adrenal ...

3',5'-Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate- and Ca2+-Calmodulin-Dependent Endogenous Protein Phosphorylation Activity in Membranes of the Bovine Chromaffin Secretory Vesicles: Identification of Two Phosphorylated Components as Tyrosine Hydroxylase and Protein Kinase Regulatory Subunit Type II [PDF]
: Membranes of the secretory vesicles from bovine adrenal medulla were investigated for the presence of the endogenous protein phosphorylation activity. Seven phosphoprotein bands in the molecular weight range of 250,000 to 30,000 were observed by means ...

Immunological characterization of chromogranins A and B and secretogranin II in the bovine pancreatic islet [PDF]
Antisera against chromogranin A and B and secretogranin II were used for analysing the bovine pancreas by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. All three antigens were found in extracts of fetal pancreas by one dimensional immunoblotting. A comparison

Immunohistochemical evidence for the presence of a vasoactive intestinal peptide, neuropeptide Y and substance P in rat adrenal medulla after heat stress [PDF]
Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of VIP-, NPY- and SP-immunoreactivity in the rat adrenal medulla. VIP- and NPY-immunoreactivity was detected in chromaffin and ganglion cells and in nerve fibers, but SP-immunoreactivity was found only in ...
