Abstract
In rabbits and rats crystalline insulin is as effective as amorphous insulin in reducing the amino-N content of blood and tissues. The amino-N contents of liver and muscle are reduced alike by insulin, epinephrine, or balanced injections of insulin and epinephrine together. Though hypoglycemia be prevented by the use of balanced injections of insulin and epinephrine, hypoamino-acidemia is still observed. Epinephrine alone is as effective as insulin in reducing the concn. of blood-amino-N. Pitocin lessens the hypo-glycemic action of insulin and increases slightly the amino-acid-lowering activity. Pitressin given with insulin causes a slight and transitory hyperamino-acidemia followed by hypoamino-acidemia.
