Abstract
Summary
The adrenal ascorbic acid response to the independent and simultaneous administration of eserine and atropine, was studied in the rat. (1) The eserine-induced adrenal ascorbic acid depletion is enhanced by simultaneous administration of atropine. (2) Atropine alone causes a significant fall of the adrenal ascorbic acid concentration. This fall is prevented by hypophysectomy. (3) Our results seem to preclude the possibility of a cholinergic control of ACTH release.
