Abstract
In vitro incubations of adrenals from wild-caught lemmings, voles and mice reveal secretory activity which reflects the adrenal status of populations. Secretory rates were higher in animals from natural »high density« and laboratory »crowded« groups. All species examined showed higher secretory rates in the winter than in the summer.
