adrenal gland

надпочечник {м} [Glandula adrenalis]анат.мед.

• Adrenal adenomas are benign tumors of the adrenal gland.
• The adrenal cortex is made of three zones: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis.
• Due to negative feedback on the hypothalamic–pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, administration of exogenous glucocorticoids such as prednisone and dexamethasone suppress the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland and the production of cortisol from the adrenal glands.
• Adrenal insufficiency (the deficiency of glucocorticoids) occurs in about 5 in 10,000 in the general population.
