In a previous study (Thérapie. 1958, 13 (3) :527-37), the authors demonstrated histologically on guinea pigs and bioclinical on inpatients, the significant functional stimulation that sulfo-terpene carries on cortico-adrenal stimulation characterized:
-
In guinea pigs, for obvious hyperplasia of the fasciculata, a very substantial increase of the lipid load.
-
In humans, for a steady and often very important for the elimination of cortico-steroids in urine.
In this new study, which aimed to clarify the mode of action, the authors carried out:
-
Histological comparison of adrenal, pituitary and other endocrine glands taken from guinea pigs treated and control guinea pigs.
-
Tests Sayers and Simpson performed on Wistar rats.
Here are their conclusions:
-
The sulfur-containing terpene (+) acting, not by acting cortico-primary, but by stimulating the secretion of cortico-Trophine pituitary (ACTH).
-
The sulfur-containing terpene seems exert any action on the thyroid, gonads, pancreas, adrenal medulla, and tolerance seems excellent.
-
(+) Therbinthiol.
