RESUMO
The adrenal glands in Jamaicans are smaller than in Europeans. this reduction in size is probably due to a reduced cortical mass. It is suggested that this reduced cortical mass is concerned in the poor response to shock reported in Jamaicans and others of African descent. It may also play some part in the different pattern of disease encountered in Jamaica.(AU)
