Neonatal administration of hydrocortisone decrease steroidogenesis in the rat adrenals in immature and mature animals production of progesterone and androstenedione reducing, at that. Primary long-term disturbance of central regulatory influences controlling steroidogenesis in adrenals, was proposed. The steroid production disturbance in the gonads was lesser than in the adrenals and was found only in mature rats.
