A study of cell migration in the adrenal cortex of the rat using bromodeoxyuridine. 1987

University Department of Pathology, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Scotland.

Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was administered by a single intraperitoneal injection to immature (14 days) male and female and adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals were killed at intervals from 2 hr to 28 days following injection. Labelled cells in the adrenal cortex were identified by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique using a monoclonal antibody to BrdU. At 2 hr, labelling was maximal in the outer zona fasciculata and zona glomerulosa in both prepubertal and adult rats. The numbers of immunopositive cells were greater in the 14 day rats. In both groups, the front of immunopositive cells moved deeper into the cortex with time. These results support the centripetal migration theory of adrenal growth.

D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

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
D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

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.
