Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Differentially Expressed Transcripts in Rat Adrenal Zona Glomerulosa and Zona Fasciculata
28 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, aldosterone is produced in the zona glomerulosa (zG), the outermost layer of the adrenal cortex, whereas glucocorticoids are produced in adjacent zona fasciculata (zF). However, the cellular mechanisms controlling the zonal development and the differential hormone production (i.e. functional zonation) are poorly understood. To explore the mechanisms, we defined zone-specific transcripts in this study....
