Further Studies on Effect of Cold and Restraint on Tissue Non-Protein Sulfhydryl Compounds. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Both hypothermia and restraint were independently capable of decreasing the concentration of liver NPSH. When these stresses were applied simultaneously, the effect of the two stresses was approximately additive. No significant change of NPSH was observed in the muscle and kidney. The possibility that the more immediate cause of the drop in concentration of liver NPSH was activation of the sympathoadrenal mechanism is discussed.
