endocrine/exocrine glands
• onset of adrenocortical lipid depletion takes place in mice between 30 and 40 days of age
(J:5089)
• in males adrenocortical lipid depletion coincides roughly with adrenal X-zone degeneration and maturation of seminiferous epithelium
(J:5089)
• adrenal cortex of males is totally depleted of lipid
(J:12157)
• adrenal cortex of females is not totally depleted and lipid pattern is variable
(J:12157)
• large doses of ACTH restores lipid concentration and distribution
(J:12157)
