Abstract
SEVERAL factors are known to exert an influence on the function of the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. So far the most important of these factors known to us is the Na+ and K+ supply available for the organism. Several authors have examined the changes in aldosterone secretion1–3 and the sensitive morphological reactions of the zona glomerulosa in relation to changes in the amount of salt supplied4,5. The anterior lobe of the pituitary body has an important, though not decisive, role in the control of functions of the zona glomerulosa6,7.
