This essay looks at the historical significance of three APS classic papers that are freely available online: Houssay BA and Lewis JT. The relative importance to life of cortex and medulla of the adrenal glands. Am J Physiol 64: 512–521, 1923 (http://ajplegacy. physiology.org/cgi/reprint/64/3/512). Marine D and Baumann EJ. Duration of life after suprarenalectomy in cats and attempts to prolong it by injections of solutions containing sodium salts, glucose and glycerol. Am J Physiol 81: 86–100, 1927 (http://ajplegacy.physiology.org/cgi/ reprint/81/1/86). Swingle WW and Pfiffner JJ. Studies on the adrenal cortex. I. The effect of a lipid fraction upon the life-span of adrenalectomized cats. Am J Physiol 96: 153–163, 1931 (http://ajplegacy.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/96/1/153).

Hydrolysis of Conjugates of Urinary Corticoids with P-glucuronidase

Hydrolysis of conjugates of urinary neutral reducing lipides by means of /?-glucuronidase of bacterial origin, as described in Paper I of this series (I), permits the extraction from urine of much larger amounts of these substances than may be obtained by extraction of acidified urine in separatory funnels. The isolation of a crystalline reducing steroid from normal urine which had been treated...

Effects of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes on Micro-Anatomical Changes of Adrenal Gland in Male Wistar Rats

Background & Aims: Changing the hormonal output of endocrine glands, diabetes leads to the occurrence of secondary metabolic disorders. Neuropathy, on the other hand, is the most common neurological complication of diabetes which affects the neuroendocrine system, in addition to peripheral and autonomic nervous system, contributing to exacerbation of disease severity. In this line, the present ...

Effect of high concentration of testosterone enanthate on histometrical structure of the adrenal cortex in male rats

Testosterone enanthate (TE) is used by many athletes as a muscle builder. Previous studies showed that high concentration of the drug in plasma may affect the natural function of endocrine glands, specially the secretion of the adrenocortical hormones. The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of high concentration of TE on histometrical structure of adrenal cortex in male r...

The effects of subchronic social and isolation stresses on learning and memory trend in male rats

Introduction: Psychological stresses influence brain functions such as learning and memory. Environmental factors like types and durations of stress affect brain responsiveness. This study investigated the effects of two subchronic social and isolation stresses on learning, memory, adrenal glands weight and corticosterone levels in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. Methods: Eighteen male ...

Complete validation of a unique digestion assay to detect Trichinella larvae in horse meat demonstrates the reliability of this assay for meeting food safety and trade requirements.

A tissue digestion assay using a double separatory funnel procedure for the detection of Trichinella larvae in horse meat was validated for application in food safety programs and trade. The assay consisted of a pepsin-HCl digestion step to release larvae from muscle tissue and two sequential sedimentation steps in separatory funnels to recover and concentrate larvae for detection with a stereo...
