Morphological changes in adrenal cortex over time of skin burn injury

The purpose of the study was the study of the morphological features of the adrenal cortex of rats in the dynamics of burn injury of the skin. Morphological features of the adrenal cortex were assessed by the degree of dystrophic changes. In the early stages of the burn injury (2-7 days), the development of dystrophic processes of adrenocorticocytes occurred. Morphological changes in the cortical matter of the adrenal glands in the dynamics of burn injury are undulating and accompanied by signs of swelling and dystrophy against the background of the emerging functional tension. By 10 days, a decrease in structural transformations in the adrenal cortex was established, which is due to a high level of stress-reactivity and activation of protective-adaptive reactions of the cortical substance. An increase in the quantitative indicators of corticocytes and their nuclei indicates an increase in secretory activity affecting the nuclear apparatus during their cell cycle.
