The Aging of the Adrenal Gland is Understudied

Researchers here review what is known of the structural and functional aging of the adrenal gland, and conclude that this is an understudied area. While it is fairly clear that changes in signaling generated by the adrenal gland can be hypothesized to be harmful over the long term, based on what is known of the roles of DHEA, cortisol, and so forth, it remains to be demonstrated conclusively that adrenal gland aging directly contributes to the onset and progression of the age-related conditions it correlates with.

Our hypothesis is that structural and functional changes of the adrenal cortex develop and progress with increasing age, resulting in reduced secretion of DHEA/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydroe…
