Abstract

A STUDY has been made of the nature and regulation of rat adrenal steroid secretion. The adrenal-vein blood of rats was collected, extracted and chromatographed by the method of Bush1,2. Corticosterone was detected and estimated by the soda-fluorescence reaction1. Mineralocorticoid activity was estimated by the biological method of Simpson and Tait3.
