title: Stress simulation and iron metabolism: adrenaline administration.
abstract: The effect of stress simulation on Wistar male rats through adrenaline administration (subcutaneous injection, 0.5 mg/kg) was investigated. Parameters measured were: plasma iron, copper and zinc levels; caeruloplasmin concentration and total ferroxidasic activity in plasma; iron, copper, zinc and manganese levels in liver and iron; copper and zinc levels in spleen. No significant short term effect of adrenaline administration on any of these parameters was observed.
