Effect of adrenalin and acetylcholine on the hypothalamic neurosecretory system in the garden lizard, Calotes versicolor.
Injection of adrenalin or acetylcholine led to enhanced elaboration and release of neurosecretory materials (hyperactivity) in the hypothalamic neurosecretory system of the garden lizard. The hyperactivity apparently came down to the control level of activity at the 120 h stage of the experiment.
