ABSTRACT
Regulation of the morphological and physiological maturation of embryonic duodenal mucosa by adrenocorticoid hormones has been demonstrated with a variety of techniques. Single injections of cortisone acetate (Moog & Richardson, 1955; Moog & Thomas, 1957); multiple daily administrations of cortisone (Moog & Ford, 1957; Moog, 1959); or in vitro maintenance of duodenal fragments with adrenal steroids (Moog & Nehari, 1954; Moog & Kirsch, 1955) all accelerate morphogenesis and the onset of alkaline phosphatase activity in this tissue.
