Abstract
The metabolism of rats [no. not stated] during rest and exercise on a specially devised treadmill has been determined. Small doses of adrenalin lowered the respiratory metabolism of fatigued rats in exercise. In 9 experiments on man (as in the rat) physiological amounts of adrenalin given after fatigue caused a lowering of the respiratory metabolism of exercise. Without previous fatigue, a similar amount of adrenalin increased the metabolism of exercise. The respiratory quotients were lowered by adrenalin.
