Abstract
The content of pyridine nucleotides was investigated in the gastrocnemius muscles of rats after intraperitoneal injection of corticotropin (1.5 units/100 g body weight) and hydrocortisone (5 mg/100 g body weight). The content of the reduced forms of the pyridine nucleotides was reduced 3 h after a single injection of hydrocortisone, but increased after daily injections of the same dose of hydrocortisone for 10 days. Administration of corticotropin, once or daily for 10 days, did not significantly increase the content of pyridine nucleotides.
