Abstract
Summary
Cholesterol-esterifying activity was demonstrated in homogenates of rat, rabbit and guinea pig adrenals.

This suggests that the amount of cholesterol esters in the adrenal gland is dependent on the level of cholesterol-esterifying activity in the gland, rather than on blood levels of cholesterol, free or esterified.
