Summary: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of secretion of the pituitary-adrenal system by studying some factors which modify the response of these glands to stress. Two such factors were considered: (a) exogenous cortical hormone (represented by desoxycorticosterone) and (b) dietary protein. Both these agents had been previously studied by other investigators, but it was thought of interest to investigate them further because some of the results reported were contradictory. |
