Rat Adrenal
Mouse Adrenal
• Adrenals are 25%
heavier in females
• No clearly visible
zona reticularis in
mice

Rat Adrenal
Zona Reticularis
X Zone
Female Mouse Adrenal
•Unique to
mouse
•Appears a few days after birth •Fully developed at weaning
X-Zone
Growth and Involution of the X
Zone
• In females X zone increases in size with a
maximum at about 9 weeks and regresses
gradually in virgins and rapidly upon the first
pregnancy
• In males, X zone disappears at puberty (5 wks)
without undergoing vacuolization
• Gonadectomy of prepubertal male and female
delays involution by several months
• Hysterectomy causes the X zone and zona
fasiculata to degenerate
X-Zone at
9 Weeks
Female Mouse Adrenal
Fatty valuolation of early involution
Nearly complete involution of X-zone
Adult Male Mouse Adrenal
Normal male mouse does not have an X-zone
Lipogenic Pigment
in a Swiss Mouse
Adrenal
Occurs in
rats and
mice
Lipogenic Pigment
• Ceroid pigment
• In cortical cells at corticomedullary
junction
• Age-related & occurs due to large
amount of lipid in adrenal gland
• May be associated with X zone in
female mice
Deposition of ceroid pigment may be exacerbated
by treatment (Female B6C3F1 – tricresylphosphate)
B6C3F1 mouse treated with tricresylphosphate
Cytoplasmic vacuolization

Can be
associated

The vacuoles consist of microvesicular and
macrovesicular cytoplasmic fat
Discrete foci of fatty change can occur

Subcapsular Hyperplasia
• Common, age-related in mouse adrenals
– 60 to 90% incidence; first seen at about 4
months
• Type A spindle cells, Type B polygonal
cells, or mixed population of Type A and
Type B
• Scattered aggregates (usually Type A
cells)
