zona reticularis

The main source of androgens will come from the zona reticularis region.

It is found in the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex.

They are produced in the zona reticularis.

Pyknotic nuclei are often found in the zona reticularis of the adrenal gland.

Adrenarche is the result of the development of a new zone of the adrenal cortex, the zona reticularis.

Cells in the zona reticularis produce precursor androgens including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione from cholesterol.

The zona reticularis is the innermost layer of the adrenal cortex, lying deep to the zona fasciculata and superficial to the adrenal medulla.

'Cortisol' is a corticosteroid hormone or glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the adrenal gland (in the zona fasciculata and the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex).

It is also synthesized in far smaller quantities in women by the thecal cells of the ovaries, by the placenta, as well as by the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex and even skin in both sexes.
