CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE VITAMIN A METABOLISM : (III) ON THE EFFECTS OF STIMULATION OF THE SYMPATHETIC CENTER, COLD STIMULATION AND CHLOROPROMAZINE UPON THE VITAMIN A METABOLISM IN RABBITS

Abstract

During stimulation of the sympathetic center, the vitamin A value in the liver decreased by 43% after 60 minutes. Cold stimulation caused a slight decrease after 60 minutes. The vitamin A content returned to normal or even exceeded it after 24 hours. A simultaneous use of chloropromazine suppressed these changes due to stimulation.
