Abstract

HYDROCORTISONE has been found to inhibit severely oxidative metabolism in vitro by normal rat liver mitochondria. Concentrations of 5 × 10−4 M and greater inhibit the oxidation of octanoate, L-glutamate and all tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates except succinate. Similar patterns of inhibition have been reported for other steroids1–6.
