Abstract
The effects of adrenalectomy, acute acidosis and treatment with adrenal steroids upon the activities of renal glutaminase, asparaginase, guanase and adenosine deaminase were studied in the rat. None of the procedures or treatments employed affected significantly the in vitro activities of renal glutaminase, asparaginase and guanase. Pretreatment of rats with hydrocortisone or aldosterone resulted in the increased activity of renal adenosine deaminase.Keywords
