The aim of the study was to investigate the cellular aspects of compensatory growth of the adrenal cortex of male hamster after unilateral adrenalectomy. Relative right adrenal gland weight was higher at 24 h after hemiadrenalectomy with no differences--if compared with sham operated hamsters--at 12, 48, 96 and 120 h. In vitro 3H-thymidine incorporation per mg of adrenal after 12 h was higher and 120 h lower in monoadrenalectomised male hamsters than in sham operated animals with no differences in the remaining time-points studied. If 3H-thymidine incorporation was expressed per entire gland, only 120 h after surgery the uptake was lower than in sham operated animals. Five days after hemiadrenalectomy an increase in the average volume of the zona fasciculata cell and no change in the glomerulosa and reticularis zones were observed. At that day solitary adrenal cortex contained similar number of parenchymal cells as the right adrenal gland of sham operated animals. Thus, hemiadrenalectomy in the male hamster leads to a prompt proliferative response of the contralateral gland at 12 h after surgery, followed by decreased proliferative activity at 120 h after surgery. Monoadrenalectomy increased average volume of the zona fasciculata cell and did not change the total number of parenchymal cells in the gland if compared with sham operated animals.
