Abstract
HISTOCHEMICAL investigations of alcohol dehydro-genase in rodents using various alcohols1 revealed no obvious differences in the sites of alcohol utilization. Primary and secondary alcohols in general tissues were utilized at the same sites; the present communication deals with the histochemical variations in sites of utilization of different alcohols in steroid-producing endocrine glands.
