Allometric Growth of the Adrenal Gland in Brazilian Fetuses

Abstract: Summary: The growth of the adrenal gland was studied in 60 brazilian fetuses (12-37 weeks post-conception). The right adrenal gland was quantitatively evaluated; its weight, length and thickness were correlated to the fetal body weight, to the Crown-Pump length and to the gestational age by the allometric method (LogY = kLogX + LogB).
