In the author's contemplated studies of physiological analysis of functional activity of several significant endocrine glands, it was thought to be of much fundamental importance to examine metabolic patterns which characterize respective glands. In spite of a large amount of data hitherto reported concerning oxygen consumption of endocrine glands(McShan and Meyer, 1946; Weiss, 1951; Sorkes and...
Ultrasonography is a sensitive and specific screening method for assessing the adrenal glands. The upper limit of the normal adrenal gland width is used as 7.5 mm. It is not known if adrenal gland width remains consistent with body weight. A reliable criterion of adrenal gland width in small breed dogs should be established. Small breed dogs with body weights of less than 10 kg were divided int...
Addison's disease due to adrenal lymphoma usually manifests as bilateral adrenal enlargement. We report a patient with Addsion's disease in whom the initial overt primary adrenal insufficiency was accompanied by an only slightly enlarged right adrenal gland. The 80-year-old man presented with nausea, anorexia, weight loss, and hyperpigmentation of the skin and buccal mucosa. Addison's disease w...
To study the contribution of adrenal glands to circulating estrogens in woman, the concentrations of estrone (E1), estradiol-17 beta (E2), and estriol (E3) in adrenal and peripheral venous blood were measured by radioimmunoassay and the grandular secretion of estrogens after ACTH stimulation was investigated by analyzing the adrenal vein levels of these steroids in patients with breast cancer w...
The effect of experimental long term hypodynamy on the structure of the adrenal glands of the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was studied. Two days after hatching the quails were suspended in special shirts below the ceiling of a cage so their feet did not touch the floor. They could consume feed and water ad libitum. Animals of the same age, hatched at the same time, and fed the sa...
Infections of the adrenal glands remain an important cause of adrenal insufficiency, especially in the developing world. Indeed, when Thomas Addison first described the condition that now bears his name over 150 years ago, the vast majority of cases were attributable to tuberculosis. Here we describe a classic, but relatively uncommon, presentation in the United States of adrenal insufficiency ...
Previous findings in our laboratory have demonstrated that transplants of adrenal medullary tissue into the spinal subarachnoid space can alleviate pain, most likely via sustained local release of pain-reducing neuroactive substances from the transplanted chromaffin cells. The success of this work in animal models has led to preliminary clinical trials with promising results. However, before la...
Running, or any aerobic training in moderation, has a positive effect on health. There is a point of diminishing returns, where chronic stress from overtraining, which is common in runners, may be linked to problems in the adrenal gland. Overtraining Syndrome (OS) has been linked with adrenal insufficiency. There is a direct link between stress and the adrenal glands, and the physical stress of...
Metastasis to the adrenal glands is a relatively frequent observation at autopsy of patients that have succumbed to cancer. Long-term disease-free survival has been reported in patients following the resection of solitary adrenal metastasis resulting from colorectal cancer. In addition, following primary resection for colorectal cancer, solitary metastasis to the adrenal glands is rare, even in...
Diffuse or nodular hyperplasia of adrenal glands is associated frequently with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. We carried out a retrospective analysis of 28 patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome admitted to our institution between 1984 and 1999 in order to clarify the incidence of adrenal hyperplasia in ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome and also to determine the correlation between...
