Although dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate has been recognized as one of the major secretory products of the human adrenal gland neither its biosynthetic pathway nor its site of formation within the cortex have been extensively studied. Ultramicrochemical techniques, which relate enzymic activity to well-defined groups of cells, have been used in the work now described to study the sulphation of dehydroepiandrosterone in the zones of the guinea-pig adrenal cortex. It has been shown that dehydroepiandrosterone sulphokinase activity resides only in the compact cell of the zona reticularis.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
