ABSTRACT Adult male rats were administered 19-nortestosterone phenylpropionate (NTPP), methandrostenolone (MA) (2 mg/100 g/day), cortisol (1 mg/100 g/day) and a combination of these steroids for 10 consecutive days. Cortisol caused a decrease in the adrenal weight on the 5th day and this effect was partially inhibited by NTPP or MA on the 8th and 11th day. The adrenal cholesterol content fell after NTPP on the 5th, 8th and 11th day, after cortisol treatment on the 8th and 11th day, and after MA on the 11th day. The cholesterol depleting effect of cortisol was counteracted only by simultaneous treatment with NTPP on the 11th day. The decrease in wet and dry weight of adrenals and of their nitrogen and protein content induced by the injection of cortisol for 10-days was markedly inhibited by the simultaneous administration of NTPP or MA. Neither of these anabolic-androgenic steroids affected the enhanced water retention in the adrenals caused by cortisol. NTPP or MA alone did not influence the parameters mentioned above.
