A well developed extra-adrenal cortical body with an axis of 200-700 micron was found in eighteen of thirty adult male Wistar rats under a stereomicroscope. All eighteen bodies were located between the kidneys. Blood vascular beds of sixteen of the eighteen bodies were reproduced with a methacrylate casting medium and observed with a scanning electron microscope. The extra-adrenal cortical body...

Results. Gravimetric and variance analysis demonstrated the most remarkable decrease of the adrenal gland weight after the application of 75.0 mg/kg/bw MPA (from 35.66 ± 11.78 to 13.41 ± 8.41 mg (p<0.001). On the other hand, morphometric analysis demonstrated that adrenal cortex volume was the most significantly reduced from 11.30 ± 3.53 in the control group to 2.04 ± 0.90 mm3 in the group trea...

Adrenal collision tumors (ACTs), in which distinct tumors coexist without histological intermingling in the same adrenal gland, are rare and their actual prevalence is unknown. ACTs commonly consist of adrenal cortical adenoma, myelolipoma, or metastatic malignant tumor. We report a 58-year-old woman with a past history of breast cancer, who presented with a 1 month history of fevers, chills, a...

For more than a decade the secretions of the adrenal cortex have been associated with the metabolism of protein. The work of Long and his collaborators clearly demonstrated that the administration of potent adrenal cortical extracts to experimental animals resulted in increased gluconeogenesis, associated with accentuated nitrogen excretion (l-3). This effect of the adrenal cortex on the catabo...

Adrenic acid (docosatetraenoic acid), an abundant fatty acid in the adrenal gland, is identical to arachidonic acid except for 2 additional carbons on the carboxyl end. Adrenic acid is metabolized by cyclooxygenases, cytochrome P450s, and lipoxygenases; however, little is known regarding the role of adrenic acid and its metabolites in vascular tone. Because of its abundance in the adrenal gland...

Purpose: The adrenal gland is vulnerable to hemorrhage in the neonatal period because of its large size and increased vascularity. clinical manifestations are variable non-specific. aim our work describe aspects, evolution management period.Methodology: This report based on a presentation newborn with an hematoma who was hospitalized neonatology unit.Findings: patient three-day old female admit...

We have investigated the subcellular localization of the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor in rat adrenal gland using the high affinity ligand 3H-labeled 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-methyl-(1-methylpropyl)-3-isoquinoline carboxamide ([3H]PK11195). The autoradiographic pattern of [3H]PK11195 binding sites in tissue sections of adrenal gland is similar to the histochemical distribution of the mito...

OBJECTIVES The VE1 monoclonal antibody was developed to recognize the V600E mutation in BRAF, which is found in various tumors. METHODS We report that the VE1 antibody stains normal anterior pituitary gland and adrenal cortex, which lack detectable BRAF V600E mutations. RESULTS Staining with the VE1 antibody was seen in the adenohypophysis and correlated well with adrenocorticotropic hormon...

Primary adrenal gland lymphoma is an uncommon diagnosis. Even among the small group of reported cases, most cases are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the adrenal gland has only been described once previously in the English literature. We describe the second case of primary adrenal gland Hodgkin lymphoma and review pertinent literature.
