In non-anesthetized and non-fastened dogs, DL-noradrenaline was in-jected intravenously in a dose varying from 3μg. to 30μg. per kg. of body weight per minute for 10 minutes at a uniform rate and blood sugar con-tent before and after noradrenaline injection was estimated. The minimum effective dose of DL-noradrenaline for causing the in-crease of blood sugar content was found to be 15μg. per kg. per minute. My thanks are due to Prof. T. Suzuki for his helpful advice.
