Abstract
Being led by two recent papers noting non-glycaemic action of the sensory stimulation in the cats when the suprarenal glands were excluded anatomically or from functioning, we have attacked this kind of experimentation again, that is sensory stimulation was tried on rabbits, normal, and long surviving either double splanchnicotomy or doubly suprarenalectomy. The cephalad cut end of the sciatic nerve was used for the sensory stimulation. The results are as follows: While the double splanchnicotomy diminishes on a large scale the magnitude of the hyperglycaemia due to sensory stimulation, the removal of the suprarenal glands does so only to a quite small extent or almost nothing.
