Abstract
Adrenalin was injected intravenously into 6 dogs after ligation of the venous blood supply to the liver, producing an average increase of 0.12oC. in the temp. of skeletal muscle. The hepatic artery was then ligated and adrenalin injected as before. There was no observed rise in muscle temp. These facts Are further evidence that removal of the liver from the circulation and not traumatic shock incident to its removal is the chief factor in preventing the rise in muscle temp. of the hepatectomized animal into which adrenalin is subsequently injected.
