Zona glomerulosa envelops zona reticularis from the outside. (ncertmcq.com)
The cortex has a complex structural outline composed of three anatomically different layers: the outer zona glomerulosa, the central zona fasciculate, and the inner zona reticularis. (trifixx.com)
The zona glomerulosa is the primary region for the production of mineralocorticoids - a class of corticosteroid hormones that increases sodium reabsorption and regulates the salt-water balance in humans. (trifixx.com)
Aldosterone is a steroid, released by the zona glomerulosa, that is responsible for regulating the salt and water in your body, having an effect on your blood pressure. (nesaz.com)
Cortisol1
The zona reticularis secretes androgens, cortisol, and corticosterone. (trifixx.com)
Androgens3
Cells in the zona reticularis produce precursor androgens including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione from cholesterol. (wikipedia.org)
The zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex produces androgens in response to luteinizing hormone (LH). (topgradeapp.com)
Mature adrenal glands ( adrenarche - 1-2 years before gonadarche ) - the zona reticularis is activated and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) secretion increases: adrenal androgens affect the development of pubic and axillary hair, acne, and body odor. (wikilectures.eu)
DHEA4
As most DHEA is produced by the zona reticularis of the adrenal, it is argued that there is a role in the immune and stress response. (wikidoc.org)
Unutrašnji kortikalni sloj, zona reticularis proizvodi androgene , uglavnom dehidroepiandrosteron (DHEA), DHEA-sulfat (DHEA-S) i androstenedion (preteča testosterona ) kod ljudi. (wikipedia.org)
Enzymatic pathways trigger DHEA and androstenedione production in the zona reticularis. (revistatransas.com)
An early sexual maturation stage, occurring 1 or 2 years before the onset of puberty, during which the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex releases increased levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione. (physiologyweb.com)
Glucocorticoids1
The zona fasciculate, in turn, produces the body's supply of glucocorticoids - a class of corticosteroid hormones with important biological roles in inflammation and autoimmune process. (trifixx.com)
ACTH2
However, the data could not define whether the increased responsivity to ACTH for these steroids might be secondary to increased zona reticularis mass or to differences in P450c17a activity, particularly of the delta-4 pathway. (medscape.com)
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is caused by high levels of ACTH stimulating the zona fasciculate and reticularis. (rahulgladwin.com)

It is also synthesized in smaller quantities in women by the thecal cells of the ovaries, by the placenta, as well as by the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex in both sexes. (vastim.com)
Produces1
The zona reticularis produces gonadocorticoids and is responsible for administering these hormones to the reproductive regions of the body. (medscape.com)
Balance1
PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION The scepticism with which many medical men formerly held off from the study of the internal secretions has been gradually replaced by the opposite tendency which, in many students of endocrinology, is exhibited as an en- deavor to interpret every change in the living human organism as a disturbance of the endocrine balance.
