[Functional interactions of the adrenal cortex and liver in rats following x-ray irradiation]

In rats the roentgen irradiation with lethal doses results in an essential decrease of liver capacity to metabolise corticosteroids with increasing secretion activity of adrenal cortex. That is a sign for increasing waste of reciprocal control of adrenal gland and liver, that is indispensable to maintenance of corticosteroid hemostasis.
