Abstract
Interruption of cervical spinal cord pathways resulted in a significant fall of the blood glucose level and inhibited the hyperglycemic response of dogs to epinephrlne. Glucagon hyperglycemia was not blocked by spinal section. The brain is apparently involved in regulation of the blood glucose level and that brain centers play a major role in mediating epinephrine hyerglycemia; they also lead to a revised explanation for hyperglycemla of central nervous system origin, such as piqure hyperglycemla.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
