[Relationship between food protein quality and adrenal cortex function. 6. Interrelationship between aminotransferase activity (GPT1, GOT2) and the status of adrenal cortex function].
Growing male Albino rats were adrenalectomized and then treated with corticosterone in an attempt to determine the activity of amino transferases (GPT and GOT) in the liver and in the mucosa of the small intestine over a period during which the animals received dietary proteins of varying quality. However, statistically significant differences in the enzyme activity were established for only those groups in which the animals exhibited differences in the functional state of the adrenal cortex. Differences due to changes in the quality of the dietary protein were not observed. From this was concluded that the activity of the amino transferases in the tissues is largely dependent on the action of corticosteroids.
