Abstract
SUMMARY
Recent biochemical studies on the functional zonation of the human adrenal cortex suggest that one of the earlier principal effects of corticotrophin (ACTH) on steroid biosynthesis occurs at the fasciculo-reticular border. This report deals with procedures for the study of the 11β-hydroxylase activity in microgram amounts of adrenal tissue and with the distribution of this activity throughout the adrenal cortex of the rat. ACTH administration is shown to stimulate the 11β-hydroxylase activity at the fasciculo-reticular border.
