The uterine tissue consists of unstriped muscle fibre and ganglia of the sympathetic system imbedded in it. The sacral roots and pelvic nerve do not enter into the composition of the uterine plexus. In the rabbit, irritation of the hypogastric nerve produces vasoconstriction and contraction of the uterus. In cats, stimulation of the hypogastric nerve produces at one time contraction and at othe...

Wense (1938) has reported the isolation of crystalline adrenalin from larvae ("mealworms") of the beetle Tenebrio molitor. This observation, in addition to its interest from a comparative point of view, suggested the possibility of using the mealworm to study the biosynthesis of adrenalin, since in addition to the very high adrenalin content implied by Wense's work, it is known to possess a ver...

The question of the effect of insulin and adrenalin on the activity of extracted liver amylase is fundamentally important, for if it could be shown that a consistently demonstrable effect exists, our conception of the mechanism which regulates the level ,of blood sugar in the animal body would be greatly simplified. In 1921, Langfeldt (1) reviewed the subject of adrenalin hyperglycemia and atte...

Subcutaneous injections of adrenalin are, in contrast with its behavior in the production of the other effects of that drug, more favorable to the production of glycosuria in rabbits than intramuscular injections; the failures are fewer and the quantities of dextrose in the urine are generally larger. In general, as regards the stimulation of diuresis by adrenalin, a subcutaneous injection exer...

This paper describes the content of the ADRENALIN project, that was set up within the 5 Framework of the European Commission in the InformationSociety-Technology-Programme. The vision of the ADRENALIN project it to open a new field for the Fractal Company concept in networked organisations, based on a modular and adaptive architecture and innovative information technologies. The resulting ADREN...

This study investigates the comparative anti-diabetic activity of glycyrrhizic acid and gymnemic acid on non-insulin dependent diabetic models i.e. oral glucose tolerance (OGTT), adrenalin and dexamethasone induced diabetes. Glycyrrhizic acid and gymnemic acid were isolated from crude extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Gymnema sylvestre and authenticated by co -TLC with standard. Invivo antidiab...

The present investigation brought out the facts that the pupil of the cat is little affected by instillation of adrenalin, but shows, nevertheless, a greater responsiveness to adrenalin when given intravenously than does that of the rabbit, and that the duration of the dilatation effected by intravenous injection is, on the contrary, longer in the rabbit. In regard to the vasoconstricting effec...
