| adrenal myelolipoma | <radiology> Benign adrenal tumour, fat, bone marrow elements, usually an incidental finding, also known as adrenal choristoma, only adrenal mass containing fat (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| adrenal rest | An island of cortical tissue separate from the adrenal gland, usually found in the retroperitoneal tissues, kidney, or genital organs. Synonym: adrenal rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal rest tumour | A rare, usually benign, ovarian tumour thought to be derived from embryonic rest cells of the adrenals. This tumour causes various degrees of masculinization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal virilism | Virilism produced by excessive or abnormal secretory patterns of adrenocortical steroids. Synonym: adrenal virilizing syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal virilizing syndrome | Virilism produced by excessive or abnormal secretory patterns of adrenocortical steroids. Synonym: adrenal virilizing syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal weight factor | A postulated substance of adenohypophysial origin responsible for maintenance of the weight of the adrenal cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenalectomy | Excision of one or both adrenal glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenaline | <hormone> A hormone produced by the adrenal medulla in mammals. It can be produced synthetically for medical purposes. It is secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to low blood glucose, exercise and stress and causes a breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver, encourages the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue, causes vasodilation of the small arteries within muscle and increases cardiac output. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenaline oxidase | amine oxidase (flavin-containing) |
| adrenaline reversal | The fall in blood pressure produced by epinephrine when given following blockage of alpha-adrenergic receptors by an appropriate drug such as phenoxybenzamine; the vasodilation reflects the ability of epinephrine to activate beta-adrenergic receptors which, in vascular smooth muscle, are inhibitory; in the absence of alpha-receptor blockade, the beta-receptor activation by epinephrine is masked by its predominant action on vascular alpha-receptors, which causes vasoconstriction. Synonym: adrenaline reversal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenalism | Excessive secretion of one or more steroid hormones of the adrenal cortex; sometimes used also to designate the state produced by therapeutic administration of large quantities of steroids having glucocorticoid activity, e.g., hydrocortisone. See: Cushing's syndrome. Synonym: adrenalism, hyperadrenalcorticalism, hyperadrenocorticalism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenalitis | Inflammation of the adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenalone | 3'4'-Dihydroxy-2-(methylamino)acetophenone; 4-methylaminoacetopyrocatechol;precursor of epinephrine in some manufacturing processes; a topical adrenergic agent in ophthalmology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenalopathy | Any pathologic condition of the adrenal glands. Synonym: adrenopathy. Origin: adrenal + G. Pathos, suffering (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenarche | 1. Axillary and pubic hair growth during puberty induced by hyperactivity of the adrenal cortex. 2. Physiologic change at puberty caused by adrenocortical secretion of androgenic hormones or precursors of them. Origin: adren-+ G. Arche, beginning (05 Mar 2000) |
