Abstract
A product isolated from a pepsin digest of swine corticotropin and behaving in counter current distr. studies like a pure substance has been designated corticotropin-B. This product not only has very high adrenal ascorbic acid reducing activity, but is also extremely active in restoring adrenal wt. in hypophysectomized rats, and has a high degree of chromatophorotropic activity.Keywords
