Abstract– The present study reveals that both renin content and zona glomerulosa exhibit cyclical changes which can be correlated with the season. As the size of the cell increases, zona glomerulosa becomes more active. It is just reversed in the onset of rainy season and during the winter season, the reverse situation is due to the zona glomerulosa cells appear to be regressed.

Key words: Renin, zona-glomerulosa, Rainy Season, Winter season
