Reaction of adrenal glomerular zone to detergents.
The effects have been investigated of chronic exposure to detergents on volumetric and histochemical features of the glomerular zone of adrenal glands in the white rat. Neutral lipids, triglycerides, phospholipids and nucleic acids were analysed. There was an increase in the quantities of all the three fatty substances in the corticocytes of the glomerular zone and the quantity of ribonucleic acid was enhanced, whereas that of deoxyribonucleic acid was reduced. The volumes of the nuclei differed significantly between the experimental and the control animals.
