Recent data suggest that adrenocortical cells under pathological as well as under physiological conditions show neuroendocrine properties; within the normal adrenal, this neuroendocrine differentiation seems to be restricted to cells of the zona glomerulosa and might be important for an autocrine regulation of adrenocortical function.
De seneste data viser, at adrenokortikale celler under patologiske og under fysiologiske betingelser viser neuroendokrine egenskaber; inden for de normale binyrer, denne neuroendokrine differentiering synes at være begrænset til celler i zona glomerulosa og kan være vigtig for en autokrin regulering af adrenokortikal funktion.
