A complex of morphofunctional changes of the adrenal cortex was studied on 150 albino male rats in case of thyrocalcitonin (TCT) administration and experimental fracture. There proved to be an increase of functional activity of the gland under conditions of reparative osteogenesis. The state of hyperfunction developed the first five days of TCT administration in a dose of 5 Units daily. The following saturation of the organism with TCT caused depression of the adrenal gland, particularly of its glucocorticoid function. It is supposed that the inhibitory effect of TCT on the adrenal cortex served as one of the mechanisms accelerating the repair processes in the bone tissue.
