Failure of Adrenalectomy Immediately Following Stress to Prevent Eosinopenia in Rats. ∗

Abstract

Conclusions

1. In rats, an eosinopenia follows stress even though adrenalectomy is completed within 10 minutes. 2. The progressive fall in circulating eosinophiles over a 4 hour period occurs even without the continued secretion of the adrenal cortex.
