“…6,7 Labor is correlated to increased production of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) in the central zone of the fetal adrenal gland, with an enlargement of the total fetal adrenal gland volume (AGV). 8,9 Many previous studies have evaluated the measurement of the fetal AGV and the fetal zone enlargement (FZE) in the prediction of preterm labor. 10,11 The majority of them have studied the predictive value of the fetal adrenal gland enlargement volume before 37 weeks.…”

Objective: Several studies have previously assessed the value of changes in the fetal adrenal gland to predict preterm labor. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between fetal adrenal gland measurements after 36 weeks and obstetrical outcome. Methods: Abdominal 2D ultrasound is used to measure in transversal plane the the length of fetal zone (D1), the width (D2) and the length (D3) of fetal adrenal gland and subsequently the fetal zone enlargement (FZE), in 98 primigravida women after 36 weeks. Labor and delivery outcomes were assessed and compared to these measurements. Results: FZE changes had no association with spontaneous onset of labor. No association found between all adrenal gland measurements and delivery onset. There was a significant relationship between D1, D2, and D3 and the delivery method. Patients delivered by caesarean section had smaller fetal adrenal gland dimensions, defining D1=0.16cm, D2=0.7cm and D3=2.37 cm as cutoff levels based on ROC curves. Conclusion: The 2-dimensional measurement of the fetal adrenal gland after 36 weeks seems to predict the delivery method in low-risk primigravida women.

The regulation of the proliferation of adrenocortical cells in culture is reviewed. The hormones and growth factors affecting adrenocortical proliferation in culture and their physiological relevance are discussed. The following general conclusions are made: (i) ACTH is growth-stimulatory in vivo, but directly replication-inhibitory both in culture and in vivo, and is therefore an indirect mitogen. (ii) Insulin, IGFs, some pituitary and brain growth factors, and other unknown factors in serum, stimulate growth in culture, but their role in control of adrenocortical size in vivo is unknown. (iii) Pure, known pituitary hormones, other than ACTH, have no effect on adrenocortical proliferation in culture. (iv) Angiotensin is mitogenic in culture and perhaps also in vivo under some circumstances.
