Abstract
Summary Adrenalectomy or adrenal enucleation increased the incidence and severity of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in rats. This effect was reversed by cortisone. These data are related to the effects of adrenalectomy and steroids on inflammatory lesions in inoculation sites and draining lymph nodes, but other mechanisms are not excluded.Keywords
