Abstract
Conclusions
1. Short periods of moderate anoxia (7% oxygen) act antagonistically to insulin hypoglycemia, whereas prolonged periods (2 hours) aggravate hypoglycemia. 2. The glycogenolytic action of adrenalin is increased during a short period of anoxia but greatly decreased or lost completely after a prolonged period of anoxia. 3. This loss of the glycogenolytic effect of adrenalin on the liver is not due to a depletion of the glycogen reserves of the liver.
