Abstract
Summary
(1) Among a series of steroids which were tested for ability to elevate the glycogen level of the uterus of the spayed rat, testosterone and to a very slight extent, desoxycorticosterone were effective. (2) Cortisol elevated skeletal muscle glycogen, contrary to previous findings. (3) Cortisone and Cortisol in vivo did not interfere with the deposition of uterine glycogen induced by the injection of small doses of estradiol. (4) Cortisone enhanced the glycogenolytic action of epinephrine in the uterus.
