ADRENAL CORTICAL COMPOUNDS AND l-ASCORBIC ACID ON SECRETING KIDNEY TUBULES IN TISSUE CULTURE

Abstract
The secretory activity of the renal proximal tubules of the chick in tissue culture is stimulated by the presence of Kendall''s whole cortical extract and of Kendall''s crystalline Compound E (17-hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone), but not appreciably by Kendall''s crystalline Compound A (11-dehydrocorticoste-rone), or Kendall''s amorphous fraction. Likewise, 1-ascorbic acid was found to be ineffective.
