[Adrenal structure in the fetuses of humans living in the European North].
The adrenals of 194 human fetuses of 17-40 weeks and newborn infants were studied by histological and morphometrical methods. The abortive material was taken at hospitals in the city of Arkhangelsk and regions beyond the Polar circle. The mass of adrenals was found to be reliably less as compared with the norms in middle latitudes, and the rate of increase of this index decreased in the dynamics of pregnancy. The microscopic and stereometric investigations have revealed decreased thickness of the cortex, adaptational and pathological changes of adrenocorticocytes. Little mass of the adrenals was associated in some cases with a premature formation of the cortex zones.
