Experiments are described which show that the in vitro synthesis of corticosterone under the influence of ACTH is inhibited by hydrocortisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone and that the relative potency of these three substances corresponds to their relative clinical anti-inflammatory activity.
It is suggested that a direct adrenal inhibitory mechanism plays a physiological and pharmacological role, in addition to the regulatory mechanism controlling adrenal steroid function mediated by the pituitary.
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.
