title: The effects of adrenaline on the oxygen transport properties of Salmo gairdneri blood.
abstract: 1. An injection of adrenaline into the dorsal aorta of Salmo gairdneri caused an increase in the dorsal aortic O2 content at 7 and 14 degrees C. 2. At 7 degrees C the number of erythrocytes in the dorsal aorta increased as indicated by the increases in both the Hct value and the haemoglobin concentration. 3. At 14 degrees C the erythrocytes in the dorsal swelled owing to the injection of adrenaline; this shifts the O2 dissociation curve to the left and in this way increases the dorsal aortic O2 content.
