[Status of the glucocorticoid function of the adrenal glands of the rat after pinealectomy].
The effect of epiphysis removal on the mass of the adrenals, the content of ascorbic acid in them and the level of II-OCS in the blood plasma were investigated in experiments on albino male rats. One and two mos. after pinealectomy signs of the activation of adrenal glucocorticoid function: an increase in the gland mass, a decrease in the content of ascorbic acid in the glands and an increase in II-OCS concentration in the blood plasma, were observed.
