Summary
Intramuscular injection of adrenalin causes a significant decrease of mitotic activity in the cornea of rats and produces no effect on the epithelium of the crypts of the small intestine. Similar results were obtained after injection of adrenalin simultaneously with colchicine. During the period of maximal inhibition of mitoses in the corneal epithelium by adrenalin the consumption of oxygen and accumulation of lactic acid under aerobic conditions remain unchanged both in the cornea and in the intestine.
