adrenocortical adenoma/phosphatase

Enzyme histochemical and ultrastructural studies of a "dexamethasone-suppressed" virilizing adrenocortical adenoma and the attached cortex revealed that tumor cells showed little activities of some lysosomal enzymes and scarcity of lipofuscins and dense bodies of lysosomal type, forming a marked

Enzyme histocytochemical staining including alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, 3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was studied in human adrenocortical adenomas associated with primary aldosteronism. Histochemically, these enzyme activities were weaker in

Enzyme histo-cytochemical staining was performed for 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in the compact and clear cells of the adrenocortical adenomas associated with Cushing's syndrome (Cushing's adenomas). In the compact cells, enzymatic activities of 3
