In a previous study (Yamashita, Shimizu & Waki, 1972), there was a decreased response of the adrenal medulla to acetylcholine after exposure of the adrenal area to moderate doses of X-rays. In this paper, we present the results observed on the secretory response of the adrenal medulla to exogenous insulin in dogs whose heads had been irradiated with lower doses of X-rays.
Adult mongrel dogs weighing 8·9–13·9 kg were used. The animals received 200 rad X-irradiation to their heads under pentobarbitone anaesthesia. Radiation was delivered at a rate of 60·6 rad/min, using a therapy unit (200 kV, 30 mA) with a filter comprising 1·5 mm copper– 0·5 mm aluminium. Target-to-skin distance was 37 cm. Approximately 18 h after irradiation, the animals were re-anaesthetized with pentobarbitone (25 mg/kg, injected i.v.) and the left
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
