Abstract

Endocrine functions were investigated in normotensive (Wistar) and hypertensive (NISAG) rats before and on days 3, 7, and 21 after subcutaneous epinephrine administration. Rats of the NISAG strain are characterized by elevated plasma levels of aldosterone and thyroxine and lowered plasma levels of immunoreactive insulin, and their endocrine system develops a much stronger response to a single epinephrine injection than does that of Wistar rats. This is manifested in a still higher aldosterone level, elevated corticosterone and insulin concentrations, and reduced thyroxine content in the plasma.
