Ultrastructure of the fascicular area of the adrenal cortex after parathyroidectomy in the rat

Electron microscopic investigation of the adrenocortical fascicular zone was conducted to determine serum calcium content in control and parathyroprivic random bred adult rats on the 5th, 15th and 30th days after parathyroidectomy. During the entire experiment calcium content was lowered. There were...

Summary:Electron microscopic investigation of the adrenocortical fascicular zone was conducted to determine serum calcium content in control and parathyroprivic random bred adult rats on the 5th, 15th and 30th days after parathyroidectomy. During the entire experiment calcium content was lowered. There were no marked changes in the ultrastructure of the secretory cells of the fascicular zone on the 5th day. In experimental animals killed on the 15th day after operation adrenocortical ultrastructural changes indicated structural-functional activity as well as destructive processes in the secretory apparatus. On the 30th day after parathyroidectomy destructive processes prevailed in most adrenocorticocytes. Considerable shifts were noted in the system of the hemocirculatory bed of the adrenocortex of parathyroprivic animals.
