Abstract
Summary
Adrenocortical carcinomas, induced in mice by early castration, and transplanted to recipient mice, were assayed for glucocorticoids by the mouse liver glycogen method of Venning. Glucocorticoids were present in all tumors. The hormone content of the tumors was compared with that of normal mouse adrenals and was found to be smaller on the basis of tissue weight. Incubation of tumor homogenate with desoxycorticosterone glucoside failed to yield increased glucogenic activity.
