title: [CO2 and the catecholamine content of the adrenal medulla of the rat].
abstract: In Wistar rats exposed during one hour to mixtures of oxygen and carbon dioxide producing hypoxia, hypercapnia, hyperoxia and hypocapnia, and so on, adrenaline contents of the suprarenals is reduced by high concentration of carbon dioxide (30%), with or without hypoxia. Noradrenaline contents is increased by carbon dioxide (15 to 30%). Hypercapnia is more potent than hypoxia as a suprarenal stimulus.
