Abstract:
Rat and bovine aorta rings incubated with 10(-5) M dexamethasone release proteins which inhibit rat dextran oedema. These proteins seem to be related to vasocortin, derived from the peritoneal fluid of dexamethasone-treated rats, and may contribute to the control that glucocorticoids exert on vascular tonus and permeability.
