OVER the past few years, considerable evidence has accumulated to challenge the
accepted view of the regulation of adrenocortical function. Conventionally, the cortex and …

Recent studies of adrenal function in conscious calves are reviewed. These have involved
collecting the whole of the adrenal effluent blood from the right adrenal gland at intervals …

The production of peptide hormones by skeletal muscle tissue is a promising area of gene
therapy. Skeletal muscle myogenesis can be induced in vitro, resulting in the fusion of …

The immune system is increasingly recognized for its role in the genesis and progression of
hypertension. The adrenal gland is a major site that coordinates the stress response via the …

Although until relatively recently assumed to be devoid of innervation, there is now ample
proof that the adrenal cortex receives specific neurones of several types. A general …

A wide variety of autocrine/paracrine bioactive signals are able to modulate corticosteroid
secretion in the human adrenal gland. These regulatory factors, released in the vicinity of …

Aldosterone secretion by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex is controlled by
circulating factors including the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and potassium …

It is now well established that oestrogen and progesterone are absolutely essential for
mammary gland development. Lactation can be induced in non-pregnant animals by sex …

It has long been thought that the functions of the adrenal cortex were mainly if not
exclusively regulated by circulating hormones, ie adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and …
