in an attempt to delineate the effect of corticotropin ( acth ) on post-pregnenolone steroidogenesis , the activity of enzymatic systems operative in conversion of pregnenolone into glucocorticoids and androgens was studied in adrenocortical cells from control rabbits and from animals treated with acth for 12 days ( acth 1-24 , 200 micrograms s.c. daily ) .
