Contexts of above:

(1) The cat showed a clear blood pressure rise with 1 mgm. adrenaline.

(2) The nictitating membrane and intestine showed a definite response to 1 mgm. adrenaline.

(3, 4) The response with unhydrolysed urine after taking adrenaline was only slight and corresponded to less than 1 mgm./ml. adrenaline, while solution (A) containing the hydrolysed ester gave responses corresponding to 25 mgm./ml. adrenaline.

(5, 6) ... the amount found after taking 10 mgm. adrenaline corresponded to 6.1 mgm./ ml. in the urine collected in the first 4 hours and 1.5 mgm./ml. during the subsequent 5 hours.

(7) E, Response to 2 mgm. adrenaline.

(8) A, 25 mgm. adrenaline.
