Abstract
The ascorbic acid content of the adrenals of cats and of the liver of guinea-pigs, as estimated by the 2:6-dibromophenolindophenol method, did not change during stimulation or degenerative section of the splanchnic nerve or perfusion with adrenalin or acetylcholin in Ringer. It is concluded that neither organ acts as a reserve store for vit. C, and that their ascorbic acid content is not under the control of the nervous system.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
