| adrenoprival | Rarely used term indicating a loss of adrenal function, as a result of either disease or surgical excision. Origin: adreno-+ L. Privo, to deprive (05 Mar 2000) |

| adrenoreactive | Responding to the catecholamines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |

| adrenal gland |
The endocrine organs that produce adrenalin (epinephrine) in humans. They also produce many other biochemical substances (norepinephrine, and steroids). Nausicaan adrenal glands produce a unique odor. "Adrenal" can mean "near the kidneys", so it could be that the Nausicaan glands produce biochemicals similar to the human ones or simply that they are located near the kidneys.
