Functional activity of the adrenal cortex in mice of opposite strains with candidiasis.
Experiments were performed on two opposite strains of mice differing in the basal blood glucocorticoid concentration in the blood. Infection of animals with C. albicans fungi led to the development of hypocorticism. C57Bl/6 and CBA mice with progressive candidiasis showed a persistent and phasic course of hypocorticism, respectively.
