Resynthesis of Adrenaline in the Rabbit's Adrenal Medulla During Insulin‐Induced Hypoglycemia

Abstract

Abstract Resynthesis of suprarenal adrenaline in rabbits during insulin hypoglycemia was calculated on the basis of the amount of adrenaline present in the gland and the amounts produced, estimated from the urinary excretion of adrenaline during a given period. It was found that depletion of adrenaline in the gland of the insulin treated animal was accompanied by a resynthesis, amounting to more than twice the average normal content in 24 hours.
