In rats exposed to a simulated altitude of 5,486 m for 3 mo, pituitary and adrenal glands hypertrophied and plasma levels of corticosterone increased more than threefold over sea-level controls. The in vitro rates of corticosterone production by the quartered adrenal gland were significantly enhanced, but the responsiveness of the adrenal gland to ACTH remained normal.
在暴露于模拟海拔5486米环境3个月的大鼠中，垂体和肾上腺肥大，血浆皮质酮水平比海平面对照组增加了三倍多。四分体肾上腺皮质酮的体外生成率显著提高，但肾上腺对促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）的反应性仍保持正常。
