title: [Compensatory hypertrophy of the adrenal glands following unilateral adrenalectomy in juvenile rats].
abstract: Left-handed adrenalectomy in rats aged 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 days produces compensatory hypertrophy of the remaining gland. Hypertrophy of the right adrenal is unmarked and variable depending on the time elapsed after operation (1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days). The index of hypertrophy as regards one right control adrenal does not exceed 133.6%, whereas that as regards both control adrenals 66.2%. Zona fasciculata reticularis plays the main role in the increase of the dimension and weight of the hypertrophied gland. The body weight of operated rats is lower as compared to control, the weight lag being inversely proportional to the animal's age at the moment of operation.
