Some observations on the action of adrenalin

During the course of some investigations on the carbohydrate metabolism, the rise in the blood sugar concentration following injection of adrenalin, was studied. The curves of adrenalin hypergylcaemia presented some unusual features, and in order to interpret them it seemed desirable to examine some of the other reactions produced by the drug. For this purpose a large number of observations were made on a series of individuals. The subjects chosen for this purpose include a few patients in whom no abnormality of the ductless glands was present, a number of diabetics and asthmatics, and several cases with thyroid involvement.
