Abstract
The adrenal response as measured by the plasmatic changes in 11-hydroxy-corticosteroid (11-OHCS) concentration following the administration of a synthetic octadecapeptide (C-41795-Ba) was compared in 17 normal young males with that obtained with the commercially available tetracosactrin. C-41795-Ba polypeptide shows a higher potency than tetracosactrin. Its effects are longer lasting when administered intravenously which indicates a significant local inactivation of the polypeptide.
Key words
