A study was made of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity of the adrenal cortex in 1612 paitents suffering from thyrotoxicosis in the process of conservative treatment, and radioactive iodine therapy. Conservative therapy, both with and without use of corticosteroids, improved the indices of glucoand mineralocorticoid activity, but failed to cause their normalization, however. Radioactive iodine therapy in patients with tbyrotoxicosis of moderate severity led in one year to normalization of the adrenal cortex function; as to the patients with severe thyrotoxicosis -- it only improved this function.
