Two sets of rabbits, normal individuals as the control and those long surviving depriviation of the splanchnici or the adrenals, were heated by means of combination of the heat-puncture and the heating in a special heating chamber. The head of rabbits was kept out of chamber, so that the animal breathe in the common air, not of abnormally high temperature.
1. When the environmental temperature was adjusted at 50°, the hyperthermia and hyperglycemia, such as mean 42°-43°C. and 0.15-0.17%, were brought about in the control animals, and those of 41°-41.5°C. and 0.11-0.12% in the animals, suffered from splanchnicotomy or adrenalectomy.
2. The chamber temperature be raised to 60, ° the hyperthermia and hyperglycemia were estimated as 43°-44°C. and 0.14-0.17% in the control animals, and 42.5°-43°C. and 0.14% in the individuals operated on.
Otherwise expressed:
(A) While the heat-puncture alone cannot produce such a high temperature as 42° or more, and induce a blood sugar increase, except the so-called operation hyperglycemia, it effects a considerable hyperthermia and hyperglycemia as well, if artificial heating of animal body be combined to it. 50° and 60° of the environmental temperature act so.
(B) Splanchnicotomy and adrenalectomy effect to reduce the hyperthermia and hyperglycemia, thus occurring. These effects are conspicuous when 50°-heating is applied whereby both the variations are of lesser degree. Especially the effect upon the hyperglycemia is distinct. But the splanchnicotomy and adrenalectomy can not reduce so strongly the hyperglycemia and hyperthermia, when the environmental temperature be arranged high as 60°.
