Abstract

Rubidium was added to the food of male rats for 2 weeks and the aldosterone and corticosterone production of the adrenal glands was subsequently determined in vitro. The aldosterone production of Rb-treated rats was significantly higher than that of control animalsbut corticosterone production was not significantly altered. These findings indicate that the effects of Rb and K on the stimulation of aldosterone production in rats are similar. (Endocrinology81: 913,1967)
