Abstract
The smallest intraperit. dose of epinephrine which produces a significant response from the thyroid and adrenal glands of the rat in 2 hrs. (as measured by I131 concn. and cholesterol content, respectively) is 20 [mu]g. The responses observed with varying levels of epinephrine are quantitatively similar for the 2 glands and are approx. parallel between doses of 20 and 100 [mu]g. This is interpreted as an increased rate of function of both glands. Various explanations of these findings are discussed.
