Abstract
Summary
The zona fasciculata and to some extent the zona glomerulosa of the adrenals of female STR/N mouse stained more intensely and uniformly for lipid with oil red O than those of the males. The female adrenal was considerably larger than that of the male although body weights of the male were larger than the female. The absolute amounts of total lipid, cholesterol and phospholipid in the adrenals in female mice were higher than in males. Eosinophil count of female mice was lower, but not significantly so, than male counts.
