Eosinophil Response to Epinephrine and Nor-epinephrine

Abstract

Nor-epinephrine (levo) administered intraven. in dosage of 0.2-0.3 mg. to a group of normal human subjects produced no consistent change in the number of circulating eosinophils in contrast to its analogue, epinephrine. This finding suggests that nor-epinephrine is probably not a physiologic excitor of the pituitary adrenal system.
