AIMS To review the morphology of the adrenal glands in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) on computed tomography (CT) to compare the results with established normal values for adrenal size and nodularity and to correlate adrenal size with serum cortisol secretory dynamics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two observers independently reviewed the adrenal CT in 28 patients with MEN1, measuring the...

OBJECTIVES To determine if the selection criteria for ipsilateral adrenalectomy during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RN) can be further restricted, with the goal of sparing more patients unnecessary adrenalectomy while preserving the removal of adrenal glands containing malignancy, as recent evidence suggests that adrenalectomy in association with RN for renal cancer can be limited to patie...

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis describes a complex set of positive and negative feedback influences between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal gland.[...].

In the thesis describes a material on morphology of adrenal cortex cattle in postnatal develop-ment. Installed topographic features zone and cells, their comparative growth patterns under influence preparations based bioelements.

The cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) has a number of biologic activities, including pronounced effects on the nervous and neuroendocrine systems. In this study, in situ histochemical techniques were used to investigate the distribution of cells expressing type I IL-1 receptor mRNA in the CNS, pituitary, and adrenal gland of the mouse. Hybridization of 35S-labeled antisense cRNA probes derived from...

BACKGROUND The morphometry of fetal adrenal gland is rarely described with MRI of high magnetic field. The purpose of this study is to assess the normal fetal adrenal gland length (AL), width (AW), height (AH), surface area (AS) and volume (AV) in the second half of gestation with 3.0T post-mortem MRI. METHODS AND FINDINGS Fifty-two fetal specimens of 23-40 weeks gestational age (GA) were sca...

The work of Loeb (21, 22), Cori (6, 9) and Murray (23, 24) demonstrated that ovariectomy of mice in certain stocks at an early age was associated with a reduction in incidence of spontaneous mammary tumors. Hyperplasia and/or adenoma of the adrenal cortical cells in castrated male and female mice was later described in several inbred stocks (dba, ce, C3H, CBA, NH, Balb) (13, 14, 27, 29). The al...
