Abstract
The effect of various factors on the conversion of corticosterone to aldosterone was studied in an isolated mitochondrial system from rat adrenal glands. The adrenal mitochondrial fraction from rats on a low sodium diet has a greater capacity for converting corticosterone to aldosterone than mitochondria from rats fed a normal diet. After 1 day on a low sodium diet the amount converted was 162% and after the 2nd and 4th day the amounts converted were 239 and 242%, respectively, compared to a value of 100% for the control rats. Sodium and(or) potassium added in vitro did not affect the conversion of corticosterone to aldosterone.
