Hymenolepis microstoma grown in mice, treated with 1.25 mg cortisone acetate every second day, are heavier and have a significantly higher glycogen content than those in control mice. The dry/wet weight ratio and protein content however are unaffected. It is suggested that the increase in glycogen reserve and weight in H. microstoma from cortisone-treated mice is due to an immunosuppressive effect and better nutritional environment rather than hormonal action. Inclusion of 0.1 mg of cortisone per 100 ml of culture medium produces no change in worm weight in vitro. Single worm infections result in 100% recovery, but 30 worm infections provoke a rejection process which can be suppressed partially by administration of cortisone acetate.
每隔一天用1.25毫克醋酸可的松处理的、在小鼠体内生长的微小膜壳绦虫，比对照小鼠体内的绦虫更重，糖原含量也显著更高。然而，干/湿重比和蛋白质含量不受影响。有人认为，用可的松处理的小鼠体内微小膜壳绦虫的糖原储备和体重增加是由于免疫抑制作用和更好的营养环境，而非激素作用。每100毫升培养基中加入0.1毫克可的松，在体外对虫体重量没有影响。单条虫感染可导致100%的回收率，但30条虫感染会引发排斥反应，醋酸可的松给药可部分抑制这种反应。
