Functional zonation of the rat adrenal cortex: the development and maintenance

Abstract: The adrenal cortex of mammals consists of three concentric zones, i.e., the zona glomerulosa (zG), the zona fasciculata (zF), and the zona reticularis (zR), which secrete mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and adrenal androgens, respectively. In 1994, we identified immunohistochemically a new zone between zG and zF of the rat adrenal gland. The zone appeared to be devoid of any significant endocrine functions specific to adrenocortical zones, therefore, we designated the zone as “undifferentiated cell zone (… Show more

“…The adrenal cortex is composed of three distinct concentric zones: the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis from outside to inside. In addition to the cortical zones, the adrenal medulla is also involved in the regulation of homeostasis, as it secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine following autonomic nervous system activation (Mitani, 2014). However, the main adrenal region responsible for glucocorticoid secretion is the zona fasciculata.…”

“…O córtex da glândula adrenal é constituído por três zonas com características distintas: glomerulosa, fasciculada e reticulada (Evêncio Neto et al, 1996;Fuchs et al, 2010;Mitani, 2014). A primeira é a porção mais externa, ficando logo abaixo de fina camada de tecido conjuntivo denominada cápsula de revestimento.…”

“…A primeira é a porção mais externa, ficando logo abaixo de fina camada de tecido conjuntivo denominada cápsula de revestimento. Esta zona produz grande quantidade de aldosterona, mineralocorticoide, responsável pelo equilíbrio hidrossalino e que também interfere no controle da pressão arterial sistêmica (Evêncio Neto et al, 1996;Mitani, 2014). O mecanismo de ação da aldosterona seria diretamente sobre os túbulos distais e os ductos coletores dos rins (Bollag, 2014), fazendo com que ocorra eliminação de potássio, retenção de sódio e de água, que é importante para a manutenção da pressão arterial sistêmica (Kopf et al, 2011).…”
