Abstract
The effects of epinephrine on blood sugar, lactic acid and inorganic P, the responses of all 3 of which involve both liver and muscle, were compared in 3 groups of dogs: 1 normal; 2 completely hypophysectomized, and 3 dogs designed to serve as controls for the 2d group. As judged by the 3 blood constituents, completely hypophysectomized dogs are capable of responding to epinephrine. The responses, however, were diminished as compared with those of normal and control animals. The significance of the abnormal epinephrine reaction of the completely hypophysectomized dog is discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
