✦ Synopsis

Differences in reaction to exogenous insulin and adrenalin were studied among chickens of 'Leghorn', 'White Rock' and 'Rhode Island Red' breeds, using level of blood glucose as indicator of the reaction to hormones. It was found that: 1.) The physiological quantity of glucose in blood in chickens of the three breeds ranged from 157 to 194 mg %. 2.) The reaction of chickens to insulin and adrenalin given alternately, measured by changes of blood glucose, differed according to the breed. The smallest reaction to hormones was in 'Leghorn', the biggest in 'White Rock'. 3.) The chickens of 'Leghorn' and 'Rhode Island Red' breeds, as well as 'Leghorn' and 'White Rock' breeds, differed significantly in maximal glucose level after adrenalin, 4.) The correlation between the normal quantity of blood glucose and the body weight of birds appeared highly significant in cockerels of all three races combined.

The effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline infusions on pancreaticoduodenal venous insulin output were studied in anaesthetized normal dogs. Two experimental protocols were used. In the first, the dogs had a normal blood glucose level at the start of the catecholamine infusion (normoglycaemic dogs)
