[Metabolic correction of structural changes in adrenal glands during experimental widespread purulent peritonitis]
Abstract:
Experiments on 55 male chinchilla rabbits with model widespread purulent peritonitis have been performed for determinig structural changes in adrenal glands with the aid of optical microscopy. The introduction of aerobic-anaerobic culture of E. Coli and B. Fragilis into the abdominal cavity causes expressed structural changes in parenchyma of adrenal glands within 6 hours. It is established for the first time that the administration of metabolic drugs citoflavin (containing succinic acid) and neoton (containing creatine phosphate) prevents the development of pathological structural changes in adrenal glands under conditions of experimental widespread purulent peritonitis.

Adrenal Gland Disorders
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...
Anatomy of the Adrenal Glands
These glands possess a distinctive yellow tinge due to the stored cholesterol and fatty acids required for hormone synthesis. They are encased in a fibrous capsule and cushioned by fat.
The adrenal gland comprises two distinct regions...
