Notes:
Dehydration results in an extreme hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the adrenocortical tissue, whereas NaCl produces a profound atrophic change. KCl brings the gland to some hypertrophy in parakeet and myna, but to some atrophy in quail. The response to cortisone and desoxycorticosterone acetate clearly indicates an atrophic look in quail and myna, however, in parakeet both the subcapsular and the central zones respond uniformly towards hypertrophy. No specific zonal responses could be detected even in cases with a histomorphological zonation. This may be due to the hormonal situation discussed by other authors.
