Abstract
The effect of electrical stimulation of the cervical sympathetic trunk on the number of eosinophils, lymphocytes and neutrophils and on the total plasma ascorbic acid in the blood of the rat, indicates that the amount of total plasma ascorbic acid rises temporarily in these animals following this type of stress and is a reliable index of the severity of such stress and possibly of ACTH production following such stimulation.
