On the innervation of the rat and pig adrenal cortex
TLDR
The innervation of the adrenal cortex of the rat and the pig is investigated with the electron microscope and nerve fibers containing synaptic and two types of dense-cored vesicles come into contact with endocrine cells.Abstract:
The innervation of the adrenal cortex of the rat and the pig is investigated with the electron microscope. Nerve fibers containing synaptic and two types of dense-cored vesicles come into contact with endocrine cells. There are no specialized pre- and postsynaptic membranes. The synaptic cleft is about 200 A wide. Generally the basement membrane between nerve and cell is absent. These observations are discussed on the base of more recent experimental findings. Small fibers having an average diameter of about 0.2 to 0.5 μ and containing only tubules and filaments are considered to represent parts of an afferent nervous system.read more

Physiology and Pathophysiology of Purinergic Neurotransmission
TL;DR: This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, i.e., ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre- and postjunctional membranes at neuroeffector junctions and synapses, as well as acting as a trophic factor during development and regeneration.

Intraadrenal Interactions in the Regulation of Adrenocortical Steroidogenesis
TL;DR: The splanchnic nerve in regulating adrenocortical neural function and the influence of adrenal innervation on adrenOCortical function are studied.

Biological basis of stress-related mortality.

TL;DR: The extraordinary sensitivity of the brain and the neuro-endocrine system to psychosocial intervention suggests that in modern, as in primitive society, these are the treatments that will prove safest and most effective.

The dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus revisited: 1986 update.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to establish a baseline level of consistency and efficiency in terms of diet texture, consistency, and taste that was representative of a representative sample of adults in the United States.

The distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide in the rat adrenal cortex and medulla
TL;DR: The distribution of VIP suggests an important role for this peptide in both adrenal cortical and medullary function and a possible Medullary modulation of adrenal cortex function.

Observations on some conditions affecting the rate of hormone output by the suprarenal cortex
TL;DR: The effect of various factors on the rate of this secretion of cortical hormone is dealt with, mainly concerned with the influence of adrenaline and of splanchnic stimulation.

TL;DR: An der Gegenseite der an Ort and Stelle verbliebenen kompensatorisch hypertrophierten Nebenniere findet sich im Nucleus ventromedialis eine Kernschrumpfung gleichen Grades wie nach beiderseitiger Nebennierenhypertrophie (Formalinstress, ACTH-Behandlung).

Studies of the fine structure of ovarian interstitial tissue. 4. Effects of steroids on the thecal gland of the domestic fowl.
TL;DR: The fine structure of ovarian steroid-producing cells of the domestic fowl as seen after administration of steroids is described in this article, which substantiates the view that the thecal gland must be concerned with endocrine function.

Studies of the fine structure of ovarian interstitial tissue. 3. The innervation of the thecal gland of the domestic fowl.
TL;DR: Evidence has been presented that there is a membranous neuro-humoral contact between the peripheral autonomie nervous system and the steroid-producing cells in the ovary.
