Bulgur is another name for wheat groats. Alternately, the word groats can be used to refer to buckwheat in its whole kernel form. High in nutrients, groats are usually prepared first by soaking and then slowly simmered until soft.
Cancer of the adrenal glands can cause the glands to become larger than normal, causing pain, a feeling of fullness, and weight loss.
Disorders may be due to genetic mutation, tumours or infections. The secretion of hormones from the adrenals is controlled by a gland in the brain called the pituitary. Therefore, pituitary dysfunction can also cause adrenal gland disorders. Some medications also lead to malfunction of the adrenals.
