The gaseous metabolism of the submaxillary gland with reference especially to the effect of adrenalin and the time relation of the stimulus to the oxidation process

THE effect of adrenalin upon the gaseous exchange of the submaxillary gland has never been investigated. It derives its importance from the hypothesis the correctness of which was first demonstrated by Langley(i) and which subsequently has been amplified by many other authors, Brodie and Dix on(a), El liott(3) etc., that the administration of an intravenous injection of adrenalin is, in essence, stimulation of the
