Notes:
Summary (1) The influence of Aldosterone (“Electrocortin”) was compared with that of 17-oxycorticosterone (compound F). The exchange of Na24 and K42 with the electrolytes of muscle was studied, with or without the addition of glucose and insulin. The diaphragm of the rat inRinger's solution was used. (2) Aldosterone (1 mg%) decreases the permeability of the muscle for Na24 and K42 if glucose and insulin are present, i.e. when glycogen is produced. Without glucose it increases Na24 exchange. (3) 17-oxycorticosterone in ten times greater concentration (10 mg%) has similar, but somewhat less influence on the permeability.
