title: [Regression of the changes developed in the adrenal cortex in hypercholesterolemia].
abstract: Administration of cholesterin to rabbits for 2 months results in its increased concentration in blood and in adrenal cortex. Adrenocorticocytes demonstrate a decreased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, decreased concentration of protein and RNA in cytoplasm, lowered succinate dehydrogenase and 3 beta-ol-++steroid dehydrogenase activity. In 2 months after abolishing cholesterin, a considerable part of the changes mentioned remains. If during this period dexamethasone, inhibiting the gland activity, is administered, the regression of the changes decelerates. Administration of the adrenal cortex activator--corticotropin--facilitates normalization of most of the parameters, altered in the gland under the effect of cholesterin administration.
