On the 12-14th day of the scorbutigenic regime simultaneously with a decrease in the level of ascorbic acid in the guinea pig tissues to content of catecholamines and 11-oxycorticosteroids changes as well. The amount of adrenalin in the adrenal tissue drops, that of epinephrine in the brain tissue and liver rises. The content of glucocorticoids in adrenals and blood plasm increases. Against a background of vitamin C deficiency administration of ACTH does not cause any deviations in the level of catecholamines in tissues, of 11-oxycorticosteroids in the adrenals tissue and increase insignificantly the content of the latter in blood plasm.
