Chromaphil reaction and epinephrin content. Asphyxia produced by closing the trachea or breathing carbon monoxide (illuminating gas) diminishes the intensity of the chromaphil reaction and the epinephrin content of the adrenals in dogs, rabbits, cocks and monkeys (Kahn, 1912; Borberg, 1913). The results were obtained by comparing one adrenal taken out before asphyxia with the other taken out after asphyxia. Kodama, working with cats and dogs asphyxiated by closing the trachea, found a smaller epinephrin content in the adrenals than is usually found in normal animals.Direct estimation of adrenal secretion. Some investigators have simply measured the epinephrin concentration of adrenal blood. Cannon and Hoskins (1911) introduced a catheter through the femoral vein into the vena cava up to the level of the lumbo-adrenal veins. Blood so obtained after asphyxia inhibited the contractions of the isolated intestine of rabbits, while blood from the femoral vein remained inactive. This effect is due to adrenal secretion as it is not observed once the adrenals have been taken out, unless asphyxia is extreme. Czubalski (1913) also found that the defibrinated blood of dogs drawn after asphyxia inhibits the contractions and relaxes the isolated intestine. Gley and Quinquaud (1917) measuring the blood-pressure-raising effect reported an increase of two to three times the epinephrin concentration of adrenal blood in asphyxiated dogs, but attach no importance to this fact as a cause of the rise in blood pressure produced by asphyxia. Volhard and Hulse (1923) studied three curarized dogs and could not find epinephrin in titrated blood (Trendelenburg’s surviving-frog method) taken from the femoral vein or the heart, even after asphyxia. Curarization and the use of blood from the general circulation suffice to explain these negative results.
