Abstract
IN a previous communication1, we showed that reserpine causes a similar percentage loss of adrenaline and noradrenaline from the adrenal glands of the rat. Recovery of the catechol amines was slow, the amine content returning to normal within 21 days. The adrenaline content gradually returned to the control value, whereas the noradrenaline content first increased rapidly to a level well above normal at 7 days before falling to the control value.
