Abstract
Avertin was administered either subcutaneously (0.5 & 1 c. c. per kilo) or per recti (1 or 2 c. c. per kilo) to dogs provided with the lumbar route preparation for collecting the suprarenal vein blood without narcotizing or fastening. The epinephrine was estimated by means of the rabbit intestine segment.
The rate of epinephrine output was not materially altered, or only slightly diminished during deep avertin narcosis, as in sleep. The blood sugar concentration became a little smaller under the influence of avertin.
