The possibility of NAE to take part in the regulation of the function of adrenal glands was studied. It was shown that two times NAE (18:0) injection in a dose 5 mg/kg of weight increased the content of 11-hydroxysteroids in blood of intact male rats. NAE caused the raise of the blood hormone content by 4 times under the immobilization stress. It is apparent that augment of stress response under the influence of NAE in vivo is explained by the activation of hypophysis-adrenal cortex system. In vitro NAE lowered steroidogenesis by near 40%. One can suggest that this decrease is caused by membranotropic properties of NAE.

D006914 Hydroxysteroids Steroids in which one or more hydroxy groups have been substituted for hydrogen atoms either within the ring skeleton or on any of the side chains.
D000302 Adrenal Cortex The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN. Cortex, Adrenal
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
