| Abstract: | Steroid-tipped hypothalamic probes containing either cholesterol, aldosterone, corticosterone, or betamethazone were found to significantly suppress plasma corticosterone levels in adult male Rana pipiens 24–48 hr postimplantation. Stress significantly elevated plasma corticosterone, and the stress response was inhibited by hypothalamic implants of both corticosterone and aldosterone. |
