The medical care currently to brown lemurs (Eulemur fulvus) is limited by a lack of knowledge of their anatomy. The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy and histology and obtain ultrasonographic measurements of normal adrenal glands in these animals.
The adrenal glands of four lemurs cadavers were used for the anatomical and histological studies, and those of 15 anesthetized lemurs were examined by ultrasonography.
Anatomically, the adrenal glands of brown lemurs are comparable to those of other species. The histological findings showed that the cortex is organized into three distinct layers, whereas most domestic mammals have an additional zone. The surface area of the adrenal glands increased with body weight, and the area of the right adrenal was slightly larger than the left.
We suggest using ultrasonography to aid the etiological diagnosis of behavioral abnormalities that might be due to dysfunctions of the adrenal gland.
目前对褐狐猴（Eulemur fulvus）的医疗护理因对其解剖结构缺乏了解而受到限制。本研究的目的是描述这些动物正常肾上腺的解剖结构、组织学特征并获得超声测量数据。
使用四只狐猴尸体的肾上腺进行解剖学和组织学研究，并对15只麻醉状态下的狐猴进行超声检查。
在解剖学上，褐狐猴的肾上腺与其他物种的肾上腺相似。组织学研究结果表明，其皮质分为三个不同的层，而大多数家养哺乳动物还有一个额外的区域。肾上腺的表面积随体重增加而增大，右侧肾上腺的面积略大于左侧。
我们建议使用超声检查辅助诊断可能由肾上腺功能障碍引起的行为异常的病因。
