Abstract
A method is descr. for the prepn. in high yield, from whole sheep pituitary glands, of purified ACTH, substantially free from growth, gonadotropic, thyrotropic, antidiuretic and pressor activities. Clinical and laboratory evidence indicates that ACTH prepared by this method is therapeutically and metabolically effective in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Keywords
