title: [Effect of corticosterone on the triglyceride content of the blood plasma of chick embryos].
abstract: The effect was followed up of exogenous corticosterone at the rate of 1 X 10a g/60 g egg on the metabolism of triglycerides contained in the blood plasma of chick embryos. Treatment was carried out on the 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 18th day of egg incubation, and the triglycerides were determined in 12-, 14-, 16-, 18-, and 20-day-old embryos as well as in day-old and 7-day-old chicks. It was found that the injection of corticosterone led to the drop of triglyceride level of the plasma, which was most strongly expressed on the 12th day of incubation. Lasting changes set in with regard to lipid metabolism, initiated by the hormone action. They were observed up to the 7th day after hatching.
