The outermost glomerulosa zone in the SC group
adrenal cortex was thin and consisted of small glomerularly arranged cells.
In the present study, we used the LC-MS/MS method to measure the serum levels of several steroid hormones and their precursors from different layers of the
adrenal cortex in a large population of 6 to 14-year-old healthy male children in order to establish reference intervals for these hormones for male children at different ages and Tanner genital stages.
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy of the
adrenal cortex. Patients often present with advanced disease and have a poor overall prognosis.

Besides this, during stress, brainstem and limbic forebrain nuclei activate the HPA axis through the PVN, resulting also in the release of GCs from the
adrenal cortex [15].

ATR-101, an adrenal-selective small molecule inhibitor of ACAT1, reduces adrenal steroid production, and, at high doses, induces apoptosis of cells derived from the
adrenal cortex. ATR-101 is currently in clinical development for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, endogenous Cushing's syndrome, and adrenocortical carcinoma.
