Summary
A decreased capacity of liver homogenate to metabolize cortisol in sodium deficient rats has been demonstrated. The rate of Ring A reduction was diminished by about 25% below that of control animals. The possibility that this effect may result in a decreased adrenal corticosteroid secretion via the negative-feedback mechanism by which plasma corticoid levels are stabilized is discussed.
