Contrasting effects of ACTH and cyanoketone on delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in interrenal glands of tadpoles of Rana catesbeiana in vitro.

Abstract:

:The present communication describes an investigation of stimulation and inhibition of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in interrenal glands of tadpoles of Rana catesbeiana. Frozen sections of interrenal glands, together with kidneys, were prepared histochemically for assay of delta 5-3 beta-HSD activity. Concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 IU/ml of ACTH or of 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 micrograms/ml of cyanoketone were added to the incubation media. The reaction products of the histochemically prepared slides, in terms of absorbance, were scanned at a defined area with a computerized microscope spectrophotometer. The results indicate that ACTH causes a significant dose-response stimulation of delta 5-3 beta-HSD activity in tadpole interrenals; cyanoketone, on the other hand, causes significant dose-dependent inhibition.
