Secondary adrenal insufficiency is one type of a condition where your adrenal glands don’t make enough cortisol. Without treatment, it can be life threatening.

Fukumoto and colleagues deduced that, when cells in the adrenal cortex acquire a gene mutation linked to CPAs, they develop into SPNs, "wherein their zF-like structure contributes to them becoming ...

The human adrenal cortex is made of three layers, with each layer producing specific hormones: the zona glomerulosa that produce aldosterone, zona fasciculata (zF) that produce cortisol, and the ...

Kyushu University researchers have found that when cells of the adrenal cortex acquire the GNAS gene mutation, they develop into steroids-producing nodules, or SPNs. SPNs exhibit a unique two ...
