The results obtained show that adrenalin, transfusion with salt solution, and the inhalation of tobacco smoke caused an increased circulation in the coronary vessels. Amyl nitrite and nitroglycerin produce the opposite effect. Digitalis, strophanthus, caffeine, and theobromine give no change in the velocity of circulation. We can conclude from the results that the blood pressure is the main ele...

EXPERIMENTS ARE DESCRIBED WHICH SHOW THAT: 1. Transient albuminuria follows the infusion of small doses of adrenalin into rabbits, if prolonged over several minutes. 2. Agents causing renal vasoconstriction also cause transient albuminuria in anesthetized, eviscerated dogs. 3. Cats eliminate albumin after having been frightened or enraged. 4. The drug ephedrine, which commonly causes renal vaso...

During the past few years contradictory reports have appeared in the literature concerning the behavior of plasma fatty acids after the injection of adrenalin. Himwich and his collaborators (1, 2, 3) claimed to have demonstrated a sharp rise in plasma fatty acids after the subcutaneous injection of adrenalin in dogs and after emotional stimulation. Koskoff and Dusser de Barenne (4) have reporte...
