[Effect of ethyl ether of p-chlorphenoxyisobutyric acid on the glucocorticoid function of the adrenal cortex of guinea pigs].
In administration to quinea pigs of ethyl-p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate daily in a dose of 0.2 g/kg per os for 15-26 days decreased the 17-OHCS concentration in the peripheral blood plasma. A fall of the urinary excretion of individual 17-OHCS occurred chiefly at the expense of free unchanged cortisol, tetrahydrocortisol and tetrahydro-11-desoxycortisol. The zona fasciculate displays the abundance of the sudanophilic material. A test with ACTH demonstrated that the present functional reserves of the adrenal cortex failed to change under the effect of the preparation. The content of NEFA decreased in the blood serum; as to cholesterol level - it reamined unchanged. Possible mechanisms of the action of the preparation and prospects of its use for the treatment of hypercorticism are discussed.
