Sex differences in adrenocortical structure and function. XIX. Differences in the compensatory hypertrophy of the adrenal cortex of the male and female hamster after unilateral adrenalectomy

A Kasprzak et al. J Anat. 1985 Dec.

Abstract

Stereological studies on the adrenal cortex of unilaterally adrenalectomised hamsters have revealed differences in adrenal compensatory hypertrophy in male and female animals. The operation evokes an increase in the average volume of the zona fasciculata cells in the male and of the zona reticularis cells in the female.
