1. The free deoxycorticosterone pool in the rat was measured by means of a radioimmunoassay in vivo.

2. The free deoxycorticosterone pool in rats with adrenal regeneration with normal or high blood pressure was similar.

3. In rats with adrenal regeneration, the free deoxycorticosterone pool 21 days post-operatively was significantly lower than that in sham-operated control rats and returned to control values at 60 days.
