Macroscopic Features of the Adrenal Glands of White Rats after Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Along with structural and functional changes in the central nervous system, purulent-septic complications, hemostasis disorders, after traumatic brain injury, one of the leading places is occupied by endocrine disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system with combined changes in the structural and functional state of the adrenal glands. Studies conducted with laboratory rats allow us to conclude that in severe cases of traumatic brain injury ending in death, the animals, in this case white outbred rats, lead to virtually no visible macroscopic changes in the adrenal glands and organs nearby.
