ResumoAtrophy of both the zona glomerulosa and the inner adrenal cortical zones of the dog was observed 6 weeks after complete anterior and posterior hypophyscctomy and subtotal removal of the pars tuberalis. Reimplantation of a portion of the pars distalis resulted in partial maintenance of the mass of eachof the adrenal cortical zones. The degree of atrophy of the zona glomerulosa was less than that observed in the inner cortical zones. Nevertheless, the data demonstrate that in the dog the mass of the zona glomerulosa is not exclusively controlled by cxtrapituitary factors.
