Gene array analysis of adrenal glands in broiler chickens following ACTH treatment [PDF]
Difference in adaptability responses to stress has been observed amongst bird species, strains, and individuals. Components of the HPA axis, one of the internal systems involved in homeostasis re-establishment following stress, could play a role in this ...

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in critical illness [PDF]
Plasma ACTH and cortisol concentrations are frequently elevated in patients in intensive care units (ICU). To examine the functional integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis during critical illness, we evaluated prospectively 53 ICU patients ...

The role of primary cilia and sonic hedgehog signalling in adrenal development function. [PDF]
PhDPrimary cilia are sensory organelles found on most vertebrate cells during interphase. They play key roles in development, cell signalling and cancer, and are involved in signal transduction pathways such as Hh and Wnt signalling.

Inflammatory Signaling in Hypertension: Regulation of Adrenal Catecholamine Biosynthesis
The immune system is increasingly recognized for its role in the genesis and progression of hypertension. The adrenal gland is a major site that coordinates the stress response via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic-adrenal ...

Contribution of the adrenal gland to the production of androstenedione and testosterone during the first two years of life [PDF]
Androstenedione and testosterone were measured in whole adrenal glands of 56 previously healthy boys who died suddenly between birth and 2 yr of age. In each adrenal gland, the concentration of androstenedione considerably exceeded that of testosterone ...

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone: A Novel Stimulator of Somatolactin in Teleost Pituitary Cells
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is known for its crucial role in the stress response system, which could induce pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion to promote glucocorticoid release in the adrenal gland.
