Exposure to cell phone radiofrequency changes corticotrophin hormone levels and histology of the brain and adrenal glands in male Wistar rat
Objective(s): Nowadays, the electromagnetic field-emitting devices are used routinely in our lives. Controversial reports exist concerning the effects of mobile radiofrequency (RF) on different parts of the body, especially stress hormones. The main goal of the present work was to study the long-term effects of mobile RF900 MHz exposure with special focus on the adrenal gland pathophysiology an...
متن کاملVirilization of a young girl caused by concomitant ectopic and intra-adrenal adenomas of the adrenal cortex.
BACKGROUND Adenomas of the adrenal gland are rare causes of virilization in childhood. CASE REPORT A girl aged 2 years and 4 months presented with pubarche, distinct clitoral hypertrophy, tall stature, and increased height velocity. Plasma testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone were elevated. Androgens remained unchanged after adrenocorticotropic hormone, and dexamethasone administrations. U...
متن کاملEffects 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 ...
متن کاملCompensatory Hypertrophy of the Adrenal Cortex
1. Removal of one adrenal in the albino rat is followed by hypertrophy of the remaining gland. In the case of female rats 90 days of age this compensatory hypertrophy amounted to 61 per cent. 2. The increase in size of the whole gland is due entirely to hypertrophy of the cortex. This increase in cortical tissue amounted to approximately 91 per cent and was due in large part if not entirely to ...
متن کاملEffects of Noise Exposure on the Volume of Adrenal Gland and Serum Levels of Cortisol in Rat
Background: Noise pollution is considered as a stressful factor in every day’s life of the industrial world. The present study was designed to investigate the probable effects of different time exposure of noise stress on histomorphometric changes of adrenal gland, plasma cortisol and body weight of the rat. Methods: Sixty adult male Wistar rats were divided into two series of short time noise ...
