  • Title: Influence of pinealectomy on the mitotic activity of regenerating adrenal cortex in rats.
    Author: Zieleniewski J, Nowakowska-Jankiewicz B, Juszczak M, Karasek M.
    Journal: Cytobios; 1986; 47(189):85-8. PubMed ID: 3780311.
    Abstract:
    There is some evidence that the pineal gland may influence the proliferation of both normal and neoplastic cells. The adrenal cortex has very high capacity for regeneration. Therefore, the effects of pinealectomy on the mitotic activity of regenerating adrenal cortex of rats were studied on the second, seventh and twelfth days following the enucleation of adrenals. Pinealectomy caused a significant decrease in the mitotic index of regenerating adrenal cortex after 2 and 12 days in comparison to sham operated controls.
