Abstract
EVIDENCE of increased adrenocortical secretory activity elicited by muscular exercise has been provided by indirect evaluations such as fall in ascorbic acid or cholesterol content of the adrenal gland1–3. However, no direct measurements of corticosteroid secretion in response to muscular exercise have been reported. The present studies were undertaken to evaluate quantitatively the effect of muscular exercise on adrenocortical activity by estimating directly the rate of secretion of adrenal 17-hydroxycorticosteroid in unanæsthetized dogs.
