Abstract
RNA [ribonucleic acid] polymerase activity in thymic nuclei obtained from rats injected 3 hr to sacrifice with cortisol is significantly lower than that observed in similar preparations from control rats. Alterations in activity of thymic RNA polymerase activity resulting from hormone injection are discernible as early as 30 min following steroid treatment.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
