Abstract
The effect of intermediate lobe extract (ILE) on aldosterone and corticosterone production of the zona glomerulosa cells and on corticosterone production of the zona fasciculata cells was investigated. The slope of the dose-response curve of ILE dilution was steeper than that of alpha h 1-39 ACTH measured on zona glomerulosa steroid production. The ED50 of both ILE and ACTH was lower when measured on zona glomerulosa than on zona fasciculata steroid production. It is supposed that a hormone (or some other substance) in ILE alters the sensitivity to ACTH of the zona glomerulosa cells.Entities:
