Abstract
Conclusions
1. The value of the capillary resistance and the level of the circulating eosinophils may serve as joint indices for the approximate degree of activity of the pituitary-adrenal cortical system. 2. On a non-stress diet (Nutrena dog food), the eosinophil level is about twice as sensitive to elevations in the cortisone level as is the capillary resistance. 3. The composition of the diet may alter these quantitative responses to cortisone.
