[Autoradiographic study of proliferative activity and cell migration in the adrenal cortex in fetal and neonatal rats].

Abstract

On the 20th day of fetal life the cell proliferation is higher in the zona glomerulosa. The fate of marked cells in each cell compartment shows centripetal migration. Their displacement, from the 20th day of pregnancy up to five days post-partum, while at that time the adrenal growth is slowered down, suggests a real migration.
