| adrenoreceptors | Reactive components of effector tissues, most of which are innervated by adrenergic postganglionic fibres of the sympathetic nervous system. Such receptor's can be activated by norepinephrine and/or epinephrine and by various adrenergic drugs; receptor activation results in a change in effector tissue function, such as contraction of arteriolar muscles or relaxation of bronchial muscles; adrenergic receptor's are divided into alpha-receptor's and beta-receptor's, on the basis of their response to various adrenergic activating and blocking agents. Synonym: adrenoceptor, adrenoreceptors. (05 Mar 2000) |

| adrenosterone | 4-androstene-3,11,17-trione;an androgen isolated from the adrenal cortex. Synonym: andrenosterone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenotoxin | A substance toxic for the adrenal glands. Origin: adreno-+ toxin (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenotrophic | Stimulating growth of the adrenal cortex or secretion of its hormones. Synonym: adrenotropic, adrenotrophic. Origin: adrenal cortex + G. Trophe, nurture; trope, a turning (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenotropic | Stimulating growth of the adrenal cortex or secretion of its hormones. Synonym: adrenotropic, adrenotrophic. Origin: adrenal cortex + G. Trophe, nurture; trope, a turning (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenotropic hormone | The hormone of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis which governs the nutrition and growth of the adrenal cortex, stimulates it to functional activity, and also possesses extraadrenal adipokinetic activity; it is a polypeptide containing 39 amino acids, but exact structure varies from one species to another; sometimes prefixed by a to distinguish it from beta-corticotropin. The first thirteen amino acids at the N-terminal region are identical to alpha-melanotropin. Synonym: adrenocorticotropin, adrenotropic hormone, adrenotropin, corticotropic hormone, corticotropin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenotropin | <endocrinology> A peptide hormone that is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoid hormones, which help cells synthesise glucose, catabolize proteins, mobilizefree fatty acids and inhibit inflammation in allergic responses. (10 May 1997) |
| adrenocortical |
Having to do with or made by the outer layer of the adrenal gland, which produces steroid hormones. There is an adrenal gland on top of each kidney.

| adrenoleukodystrophy |
An inherited metabolic disorder in which the myelin sheath on nerve fibres is lost and the adrenal gland degenerates, which leads to progressive neurological disability and death. People with adrenoleukodystrophy accumulate high levels of very-long-chain fatty acids in their brain and adrenal cortex, because the fatty acids are not broken down in a normal manner.

| adrenoleukodystrophy |
A genetic, X-linked condition in which the body over-produces very long-chain saturated fatty acids (20- to 28-carbon chains) that destroy the myelin which is the insulation of nerves in the central nervous system. The disease is usually fatal in childhood, but its effects can be slowed down with a mixture of 20% erucic acid and 80% oleic acid (Lorenzos oil). Aerobic

| adrenocorticotropic hormone |
ACTH is extracted from the pituitary glands of animals or made synthetically. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release glucocorticoid hormones. These hormones are anti-inflammatory in nature, reducing edema and other aspects of inflammation. Data from the early 1970s indicate that ACTH may reduce the duration of MS exacerbations. ...
