[Comparative characteristics of the functional state of the adrenal cortex in the dogs and the fox, Vulpes fulvus].
Comparison has been made of secretory activity of the adrenals in silver foxes and dogs. Besides, studies were made of the effect of ACTH and angiotensin II on the production of gluco- and mineral corticoids by the adrenals in these animals. It was shown  that the spectrum and number of main corticosteroids produced by the adrenals in vitro is identical infoxes and dogs. No difference was found between these animals with respect to the reaction of the adrenals to the addition of ACHT and angiotensin to the incubation medium, although in foxes more significant reaction of glucocorticoid part of the adrenals to ACTH was noted.
