title: [Effect of hydrocortisone on the state of liver chromatin in rats of different age].
abstract: Hydrocortisone (5 mg/100 g) injected intraperitoneally induced redistribution of hepatic chromatin fractions in pubertal (aged 6--8 months) and old (aged 24--26 months) rats. Changes in the content of these chromatin fractions begin earlier and end later in old animals. Hydrocortisone stimulated 14C-orotic acid incorporation into RNA of active and inactive hepatic chromatin in rats of both age groups. The maximal incorporation of 14C-orotic acid into RNA of inactive chromatin in pubertal rats occurred 7 hours after the hormone administration, and in old rats after 4 hours; in case of active chromatin these figures were 17 and 6 hours, respectively.
