Effect of ACTH on the zona reticularis of the rat adrenal cortex: an ultrastructural stereologic study

G Mazzocchi et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The effects of ACTH on the rat adrenal zona reticularis were investigated by stereologic methods. It was found that the zona reticularis cell responsiveness to ACTH is similar to that of the zona fasciculata elements. This excludes that the zona reticularis of the adult rat can only function as the site of destruction of worn-out elements migrating from the adrenal outer zones.
