Abstract
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of anterior pituitary hormones on hepatic corticosterone metabolism in rats. Hypophysectomy lowered A-ring reduction but did not affect sidechain metabolism. Administration of prolactin, FSH, LH or FSH + LH to hypophysectomized rats affected neither process. Similarly, ACTH or growth hormone, when given alone, did not affect corticosterone metabolism. However, combined treatment with ACTH and growth hormone significantly reduced the rate of ring A metabolism, suggesting that hormonal interactions may be important in the control of hepatic steroid metabolism.
