Abstract
A method of competitive protein-binding analysis was applied to the study of nonmetabolized glucocorticoids (NMG) in the plasma and urine of healthy persons and those suffering from hyper- and hypocorticism. NMG determination by this method reflected adequately the funcitonal condition of the adrenal cortex under normal conditions and in hypophyseo-adrenal diseases, including tests with ACTH and dexametazan, and coordinated with the results obtained by standard chemical methods.
