Structure and function of adrenal glandsMoses Kayungi
Structure and function of adrenal glands
• Anatomically, the adrenal glands (suprarenal) are located in the thoracic abdomen situated 'on' top of the kidneys one on each side, specifically on their anterosuperior aspect.
• They are surrounded by the adipose capsule and the renal fascia
• They consist of two parts,
The outer cortex
The inner medulla.
Adrenal Cortex
• The adrenal cortex is devoted to the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones from cholesterol.
It completes the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
The source of cortisol and corticosterone hormones
• The cortex is divided into three zones, or layers.
• This division is sometimes referred to as ‘functional zonation”
Zona glomerulosa
Zona fasciculata
Zona reticularis
Adrenal Medulla
• The adrenal medulla is the core of the adrenal gland, and is surrounded by the adrenal cortex.
• The chromaffin cells of the medulla are the body's main source of the circulating catecholamines, adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine
Blood supply to Adrenal Gland
• Although variations of the blood supply to the adrenal glands (and indeed the kidneys themselves) are common, there are usually three arteries that supply each adrenal gland:
The superior suprarenal artery is provided by the inferior phrenic artery.
The middle suprarenal artery is provided by the abdominal aorta.
The inferior suprarenal artery is provided by the renal artery
• Venous drainage of the adrenal glands is achieved via the suprarenal veins:
The right suprarenal vein drains into the inferior vena cava.
The left suprarenal vein drains into the left renal vein or the left inferior phrenic vein
Basic Introduction to the vast science of the endocrine glands and their interactions. A brief review into the physiological processes that result in endocrine disorders.
Steroid hormones can be grouped into 2 classes, corticosteroids (typically made in the adrenal cortex, hence cortico-) and sex steroids (typically made in the gonads or placenta).
In mammals, the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that sit at the top of the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in response to stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines such as adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline. They also produce androgens in their innermost cortical layer. The adrenal glands affect kidney function through the secretion of aldosterone, and recent data (1998) suggest that adrenocortical cells under pathological as well as under physiological conditions show neuroendocrine properties; within normal adrenal glands, this neuroendocrine differentiation seems to be restricted to cells of the zona glomerulosa and might be important for an autocrine regulation of adrenocortical function.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility

ADRENAL HORMONES
By
Mr.S.KAMESHWARAN.,M.Pharm.,(Ph.D).
Associate Professor, Excel College of Pharmacy
Komarapalayam, Namakkal, Tamilnadu, India
2. ADRENAL GLAND
Adrenal gland is also known as suprarenal glands
They are chiefly responsible for releasing of
hormones in response to stress through the
synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and
catecholamines such as epinephrine (adrenaline)
and norepinephrine
Each adrenal gland has two distinct structures:
Outer adrenal cortex & The inner medulla, both
of which produce hormones.
The adrenal cortex is devoted to production of
corticosteroid and androgen hormones
3.
4. Adrenal cortex contains three different layers:
ZONA GLOMERULOSA (OUTER)
The outermost layer,
It is the main site for production of aldosterone,
It is a mineralocorticoid,
Produced by the action of the enzyme aldosterone synthase.
ZONA FASCICULATA (MIDDLE)
Situated between the glomerulosa and reticularis,
It is responsible for producing glucocorticoids,
Such as 11-deoxycorticosterone, corticosterone and cortisol.
ZONA RETICULARIS (INNER)
The inner most cortical layer,
It produces androgens, mainly dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA),
DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S), and androstenedione (the precursor to
testosterone).
All adrenocortical steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol.
5. MEDULLA:
The medulla chiefly produces epinephrine
and norepinephrine,
It is the core of the adrenal gland,
It is surrounded by the adrenal cortex.
It secretes approximately 20%
noradrenaline (norepinephrine) and 80%
adrenaline (epinephrine).
6.
7. CORTICOSTEROIDS
Adrenal cortex secretes 2 steroidal hormones.
GLUCOCORTICOIDS
MINERALOCORTICOIDS
BIO SYNTESIS:
Corticoids - 21 carbon containing compounds,
Having cyclo pentano perhydro
phenanthrene nucleus,
Synthesized in the adrenal cortical cells
from cholesterol.
8. ACTIONS OF MINERALOCORTICOIDS:
The primary mineralocorticoid is aldosterone,
It is produced in the adrenocortical zona
glomerulosa by the action of the enzyme aldosterone
synthase
FUNCTIONS OF MINERALOCORTICOIDS:
♥ largely responsible for the long-term regulation of
blood pressure
♥ it causes increased reabsorption of sodium in distal
convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the kidney
and increases the excretion of both potassium and
hydrogen ions.
♥ Controls body’s water volume & concentration of
electrolytes.
9. GLUCOCORTICOIDS:
☻They are produced in the zona fasciculata
☻The primary glucocorticoid released by the
adrenal gland in the human is cortisol.
☻Its secretion is regulated by the hormone ACTH
from the anterior pituitary.
FUNCTIONS OF GLUCOCORTICOIDS
CARBOHYDRATE & GLUCOSE METABOLISM
FAT METABOLISM
CALCIUM METABOLISM
WATER EXCRETION
MAINTAIN MUSCLAR ACTIVITY
MAINTAIN MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTALITY
INCREASES GASTRIC ACID & PEPSIN
SECRETION
10. MECHANISM OF ACTION OF CORTICOSTEROIDS:

11.
12. PHARMACOKINETICS:
♣ All natural and synthetic corticoids
(MINERALO & GLUCOCORTICOIDS)
are absorbed orally,
♣ Hydrocortisone undergoes high first
pass metabolism,
♣ Its 90% bound to plasma protein
♣ Metabolized in liver by hydroxylation
and conjugation with glucaronic acid &
sulfate
♣ Excreted through urine
14. HYDROCORTISONE:
It has short duration of action, mainly has
glucocorticoid action.
In addition to that it also have little
mineralocorticoid action.
Used for
Replacement therapy – 20mg morning +
10mg after noon
Shock, Adrenal insufficiency – 100mg i.v
injection + 100mg 8 hourly i.v injection.
Topically & as suspension it is used in
eneme in ulcerative colitis
15. PREDNISOLONE:
4 times potent than hydrocortisone.
Has Selective glucocorticoid action
Intermediate duration of action.
Produce less side effects than other drugs
Used for:
Allergy, Inflammation, Auto immune
disease & cancer at the dose of 5- 60mg
orally, 10-40mg i.m.
Also administered intraarticular and to
topical routes.
16.
17. FLUDROCORTISONE:
Potent mineralocorticoid
Have some glucocorticoid action
Active orally
Used for replacement therapy in addisons
disease at the dose of 50- 200 micro gm
daily
addisons disease : (adrenal insufficiency)
Most people with primary Addison's have darkening
(hyperpigmentation) of the skin, including areas not
exposed to the sun;
19. ADR:
Sodium & water retention,
Edema,
Hypokalaemic alkalosis,(alkalosis is said to
occur when pH of the blood exceeds 7.45)
(may lead to muscular weakness, myalgia, and
muscle cramps and muscle spasms)
Increase in B.P,
Obesity,
Osteoporosis,
Ulcer.
