... abnormality) was the most common presentation (54%, n = 22). Sixty-six percent of patients ( n = 27 out of 41) underwent total adrenalectomy. Metastatic disease was more common in children aged > 12 years ( p = 0.002 compared to < 4 years). The most common sites of metastases were the liver and lungs...

... effects of high-dose glucocorticoids, possibly leading to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. Bilateral adrenalectomy has been suggested as the ultimate therapy in severe cases, when insufficient androgen suppression was obtained despite high glucocorticoid doses. Usually, ACTH levels rise after bilateral...

... syndrome after bilateral adrenalectomy. Methods: We describe the clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings of the patient and review the relevant literature regarding OART and the possible interaction between ACTH and brown adipose tissue. Results: An 18-year-old female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia...

...P. van der Schoot; W.J. de Greef Adrenalectomy before pregnancy in rats caused the persistence of high blood levels of prolactin (PRL) throughout the ensuing postpartum lactation. The persistence of hyperprolactinaemia was without effect on the (delayed) timing of blastocyst implantation during...

... removal from the circulation, it is conceivable that the metabolism of cortisol also occurs in an oscillating fashion. To test this hypothesis Rhesus monkeys were submitted to bilateral adrenalectomy; cortisol was replaced at a constant infusion rate while blood was sampled at hourly intervals...

The results suggest that the evolution of enzyme COMT during postnatal life is somehow dependent on the activity of the adrenal cortex since adrenal demedullation did not produce any marked and significant effect on COMT activity in all...

The administration of 5 mg of hydrocortisone daily to adrenalectomized rats produced gradual declines in VMA excretion after 3rd, 6th and 10th. After the 10th injection...

.... The perfusion of 60 µ C i 3 H-epinephrine to ratspregnant for 21 days resulted in a significant accumulation of the tracer in the fetal heart. This accumulation was markedly declined by pre-administration of progesterone, estrogens, and oxytocin in the pregnant rats and by maternal adrenalectomy...

The effects of adrenalectomy and glucocorticoid inhibition with metopirone or elipten produced only slight variations in the conversion of 3 H-epinephrine to 3 H-metanephrine and 3 H-acid...

..., the decision was taken to proceed to bilateral adrenalectomy. Methods: Low-dose IV infusion of etomidate, with dose titration according to serum cortisol levels, was administered. Results: Etomidate infusion (3.0 mg/h i.v.) decreased serum cortisol from 1,250 to 250 nmol/l within 24 h. Combined etomidate...
