PURPOSE To present series of patients with large rare primary lesions of the adrenal glands that were operated in our department. The initial indication for surgery was decided based on their impressive similarity to other more sinister adrenal pathologies. METHODS The clinical records of the department and histopathology reports, covering the 1986-2015 period were assessed. Rare adrenal path...
We examined the effect of angiotensin I (AI), without the effect of angiotensin II (AII) converted from AI, on the weight of the adrenal glands, adrenal corticosterone (B) and adrenal aldosterone under conditions where the renin-angiotensin system was suppressed, since a reduction in the size of the adrenal glands is often observed in DOCA/salt hypertensive rats. Sixty male Wistar rats fed on a...
A 35-year-old patient presented with a 1-month history of fever, fatigue, and loss of weight and appetite. Clinical examination was unremarkable except for hypotension (90/60mmHg). The cause of fever could not be ascertained from routine investigations. Biochemistry results were: serum albumin 2.8gm/dL, international normalized ratio 1.4, serum cortisol 4μg/dL, serum sodium 122mEq/L, and serum ...
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, nonfunctional benign tumor that is composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. In the past, these tumors were accidentally discovered at autopsy. Today, they are found much more frequently and incidentally, mainly because of the widespread use of noninvasive imaging with ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Most l...
Role of cholinergic receptors in adrenal catecholamine secretion in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
We investigated the role of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in secretion of catecholamines induced by transmural electrical stimulation (ES) from isolated perfused adrenal glands of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. ES (1-10 Hz) produced frequency-dependent increases in epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NE) output as measured in perfusate. T...
This study investigated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular density, and apoptosis in fetal rat adrenal glands with hyperthyroidism in late gestation. Twelve mature female Wistar albino rats with the same biological and physiological features were used for this study. Rats were divided into two groups: control and hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism was induced by...
The influence of postnatal insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) overexpression on adrenal growth and function was investigated in 3-month-old male phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) promoter human IGF-II transgenic mice, which are characterized by 4-to 6-fold elevated postnatal IGF-II serum levels. Plasma corticosterone levels of PEPCK-IGF-II transgenic mice were 2-fold higher than in ...
BACKGROUND The anatomy of the adrenal glands has been widely studied in many species of domestic and wild mammals. However, there are no available literature reports describing the morphology and morphometry of the adrenal glands of the European bison (Bison bonasus). RESULTS The study was conducted on 97 European bison of both sexes. The growth of the adrenal glands corresponded to the growt...
Using type 1a angiotensin receptor (AT1a) receptor-deficient (Agtr1a-/-) mice and in vivo autoradiography, we tested the hypothesis that intracellular uptake of ANG II in the kidney and adrenal glands is primarily mediated by AT1a receptors and that the response is regulated by prevailing endogenous ANG II. After pretreatment of wild-type (Agtr1a+/+) and Agtr1a-/- mice (n = 6-9 each group) with...
AIMS To investigate the immunohisto-chemical staining of normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic adrenal cortex with a monoclonal antibody against alpha inhibin. Also, to determine whether immunostaining with this antibody is useful in differentiating between adrenal cortical neoplasms and other tumours involving the adrenal gland that might mimic them. METHODS Normal adrenal tissue (n = 20) and...
