Abstract
Crystalline electrocortin was bioassayed in the Na24/K42 assay method and in the mouse eosinophil test. Electrocortin is 120 times as active as desoxycorticosterone in its effect on the urinary Na24/K42 ratio of adrenalectomized rats. It is about one quarter as active as cortisone acetate in its effect on the depression of circulating eosinophils in the adrenalectomized mouse.Keywords
