THE RELATIVE POTENCIES OF ADRENAL CORTICAL STEROIDS AS DETERMINED BY A COLD PROTECTION TEST AND BY A GLYCOGEN DEPOSITION TEST12

Abstract
THIS COMMUNICATION is concerned with the comparative activities of 11-desoxycorticosterone acetate, corticosterone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone and 17-hydroxy-ll-dehydrocorticosterone on a cold protection test and the comparative activities of 17-hydroxy-ll-dehydrocorticosterone and 11-dehydrocorticosterone on a test involving the deposition of glycogen in the fasting adrenalectomized male mouse.
