Abstract
Adrenal cells from C57BL/Tb mice produced more steroid than those from DBA/2J mice. Reciprocal differences between both backcross and F1 hybrids showed a persistent maternal effect. Mothers with high output produce offspring with reduced hormone production when adult. Corticosterone output thus depends on maternal phenotype as well as on the genotype of the isolated cells.Entities:
