Furthermore, CMA caused marked atrophy of the adrenal gland. Histopathologically, the remarkable atrophy was observed in the adrenal cortical cells of zonae fasciculata and reticularis.

With granulosa cells maintained in a quiescent state under serum-free conditions, we therefore examined the effects of combined treatment with IL-1 and peptide growth factors, including insulin, on [3H]thymidine incorporation by these cells. IL-1 by itself enhanced [3H]thymidine incorporation in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, IL-1 acted synergistically with insulin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), or fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to enhance [3H]thymidine incorporation. Combinations of maximally effective concentrations of insulin (1 micrograms/ml), EGF (1 ng/ml), or FGF (50 ng/ml) with the maximally effective concentration of IL-1 (10 ng/ml) increased the levels of [3H]thymidine incorporation to 10-, 22-, and 20-fold, respectively, over the control values. Whereas IL-2 (0.1-100 ng/ml) did not affect [3H]thymidine incorporation, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation by itself and reproduced the actions of IL-1 to act synergistically with insulin, EGF, or FGF. When IL-1 and TNF alpha were added together in relatively low concentrations (1 ng/ml each), the combination had synergistic effects in enhancing [3H]thymidine incorporation.
