AN EVALUATION OF AFFERENT NERVOUS IMPULSES IN THE ADRENAL CORTICAL RESPONSE TO TRAUMA

Abstract

The discharge of adrenal ascorbic acid which normally follows a fracture or mild scald of the leg of normal and adrenal-demedullated female piebald rats was diminished, if the traumatized leg had been previously denervated. Denervation had no effect on the adrenal ascorbic acid discharge following a more severe scald.
