Summary
Corticosterone was shown to have an inhibitory effect on the contraction caused by a cardiac glycoside (g-Strophanthin = Ouabain) in isolated strips of rat aorta. It could be demonstrated that over a tenfold concentration range of Ouabain, the kinetics of this antagonism are in accord with the assumption of a competitive inhibition.
