Abstract
Marked dilatation of the venous sinusoids, a decrease in area of the chromaffin tissue, and a stronger chromaffin reaction in the adrenal medulla were found 7 and 45 days after bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy in male albino rats. Considerable changes were found in the ultrastructural organization of the secretory cells and endothelium. Injection of glucose into these animals caused only slight fluctuations in the adrenalin content in the chromaffin cells.
