Initial Morphofunctional Asymmetry of the Adrenal Glands in CBA/Lacy Mice

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

We performed morphological examination of the adrenal glands from intact CBA/Lacy mice. Morphometry, histochemistry, and electron microscopy revealed predominance of functional activity of the right adrenal gland. This phenomenon was associated with adaptive state of the animals. The observed differences are probably related to specific pattern of functioning of paired organs determined during embryogenesis.
