When injected into the central stump of the coeliac artery of an eviscerated cat, anesthetized with chloralose, bradykinin and angiotensin were found to be potent releasers of the medullary hormones from the suprarenal glands, as evidenced by the ensuing contractions of the denervated nictitating membrane and the blood-pressure changes. The threshold dose for bradykinin varied between 0.05 and 1 /ig; with angiotensin a release of adrenaline was sometimes detected with as little as 1 -2 ng. Bradykinin released as much as its own weight, and angiotensin sometimes as much as a hundred times its own weight, or catecholamines when injected through the coeliac artery, although when injected in this way much of the peptide does not reach the suprarenal medulla, but passes down the aorta. It was calculated that the number of molecules of catechol amines released by 1 molecule of bradykinin must be at least in the region of 50, and by 1 molecule of angiotensin in the region of several thousands. When injected intravenously into a non-eviscerated anesthetized can evidence for the release of the medullary hormones was obtained with 10 [mu]g of bradykinin and with 0.1 [mu]g of angiotensin. Two kinins related to bradykinin released the catechol amines from the suprarenal medulla when injected through the coeliac artery. One was a little, the other several hundred times, less active than bradykinin. About the same relative potency pertained for their action on isolated smooth muscle preparations. No relaease of catechol amines from the suprarenal medulla was obtained with vasopressin, oxytocin and substance P when injected through the coeliac artery.
