Abstract
The adrenalectomy of the rabbit is done one side after the other at eight days interval, and its effects on the dentine formation and growth, the amounts of serum calcium and total protein are observed with reference to the vital staining, and the following results are obtained.
The effect of adrenalectomy, observed both qualitatively and quantitatively, is that the calcification of dentine is retarded to some extent by unilateral adrenalectomy, and remarkably by bilateral one, and the amounts of serum calcium and total protein decrease remarkably after adrenalectomy, and return to the normal level gradually.
As the cause of these effects, the cortical hormone is considered as important as the medullary hornione, which has been considered effective till now.
