ABSTRACT

Proliferation kinetics in the zones of the adrenal cortex of female rats after castration are reported. Following ovariectomy a wave of increased cell proliferation was observed in the zona glomerulosa and zona fasciculata after 1 and 2 days respectively. Increased cell proliferation in the zona reticularis was only slight. Cell proliferation returned to the level in control animals at 4 weeks. It is assumed that the regulative process following ovariectomy takes place directly in the adrenal cortex but it is possible that steroid metabolism in the liver is of importance. No relationship between the 3H-TdR labelling index (LI) and the mitotic index (MI) was observed.
