Abstract
Rb was added to the food of male rats for 2 wk. and the aldosterone and corticosterone production of the adrenal glands was subsequently determined in vitro. The aldosterone production of Rb-treated rats was significantly higher than that of control animals but corticosterone production was not significantly altered. These findings indicate that the effects of Rb and K on the stimulation of aldosterone production in rats are similar.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
