  • Title: Effect of postnatal malnutrition on plasma corticosteroid levels in male albino rats.
    Author: Tigner JC, Barnes RH.
    Journal: Proc Soc Exp Biol Med; 1975 May; 149(1):80-2. PubMed ID: 806921.
    Abstract:
    Basal morning plasma corticosteroid concentrations were significantly elevated in 11 and 21 day old male albino rats suckled by dams receiving a 12% casein diet when compared to control rats suckled by dams receiving a 25% casein diet. Rats which were either well-fed or malnourished during lactation then given a 9% casein after weaning had elevated corticosteroid levels and adrenal hypertrophy at 49 days of age. These changes may be related to altered adrenocortical responsivity found in adult rats malnourished in infancy.
