[Changes in the functional state and structure of the adrenals in CC14 poisoning]

Introduction of CCI4 in doses of 0.1 and 0.2 ml/100 g to albino rats reduced the steroid production generated by adrenal sections. In 24 and 48 hours after poisoning with a small dose of CCI4 (0.1 ml/100 g) there could be seen an increased concentration of 11-oxycorticosteroids in the plasma. Morphological signs of a damage suffered by the gland were observed only in poisoning with a large dose of CCI4 (0.2 ml/100 g).
