An autoradiographic study on the proliferative activity in the juvenile chick adrenal cortex. 1984

S K Mahata, and A P Sinhahikim, and A Ghosh

Proliferative activity in the adrenal cortex of 10 days old chick was studied using autoradiographic technique with tritiated thymidine. The study provides an approximate distribution of DNA synthesizing and/or dividing cells in the chick adrenal cortex. The data indicate the presence of dividing cells both in the subcapsular zone (SCZ) and the inner zone (IZ) and their low or non-migratory activity within 360 hrs after injection of the isotope. This clearly suggests that both the SCZ and IZ are proliferative in chick adrenal.

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

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.
