1. Daily treatment of monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with 25 or 30 mg ACTH in beeswax/arachis oil almost doubles the size and alters the histological appearance of the adrenal glands. The life-span of skin homografts is, however, only prolonged by a trivial amount.
2. Since 15 mg cortisone daily has an equally trivial effect it may be that the ineffectiveness of treatment with ACTH depends as much on relative insensitivity of the reactive tissues to cortisone as on the character of the hormones produced by the adrenal gland.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
