Mouse Adrenal Cortical Cells

Research on the Mouse Adrenal Cortical Cells is essential to the study of Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, adrenal hyperplasia, adrenocortical carcinoma, hormonal regulation and steroidogenesis. The adrenal glands are paired, triangular-shaped endocrine organs situated on the superior (upper) pole of each kidney. Each adrenal gland contains two main parts: the cortex and the medulla. The cortex produces steroid hormones, such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens, while the medulla secretes catecholamines, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. These adrenal-gland-secreted hormones regulate essential physiological functions, including the aspects of metabolism, stress response, osmoregulation, and reproductive function. Dysfunction of the adrenal glands potentially results in conditions such as hypertension, metabolic imbalances, or endocrine disorders. The Mouse Adrenal Cortical Cells are to be used with Mouse Adrenal Cortical Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0522). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
