Effect of Cortisone on Blood Pressure of Hypertensive Rats Deprived of Dietary Potassium

Abstract
Cortisone (I) was given to uninephrectomized, renal-ligature rats with hypertension and to DCA-induced hypertensive rats whose blood pressures were previously lowered by dietary deprivation of K. Admn. of I promptly restored the lowered blood pressures to their initial hypertensive levels, despite persistence of their K depletion.
