Fatty material in the adrenal cortex 2 months after cessation of contamination

The presence of lipid substances in the rat adrenal cortex was analysed two months after ending a one-month exposure to detergents. An increased quantity of neutral lipids was found throughout the adrenal cortex. An augmented triglyceride content was manifested to a higher degree in adrenocorticocytes. The largest quantity of phospholipids was observed in the adrenal cortex. The changes in the quantity and quality of lipid substances were described, which all testified to a stimulated activity of adrenal gland.
