Abstract
Finger tremor was measured in six normal subjects during intravenous infusions of adrenaline (10 ngkg-1 min-1 and 50 ngkg-1 min-1) resulting in venous plasma adrenaline concentrations within the physiological range (0.77 .+-. 0.08 and 2.28 .+-. 0.18 nmoll-1). Tremor amplitude significantly increased after 15 and 25 minutes infusion at the higher dose of adrenaline. The lower dose of adrenaline increased tremor in three of the six subjects.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
