title: [Comparative evaluation of the influence of some steroids on plasma ACTH levels].
abstract: Comparison was made between the biological activity of a synthetic polysteroid preparation and that of its individual constituents using the increase in plasma ACTH following the pituitary suppression caused by the administered substance as an index. The results showed that the preparation has a more significant influence on ACTH secretion than the other experimented products.
