Abstract
Summary
Desoxycorticosterone acetate increased the glycogenolytic action of epinephrine in the rectus femoris and abdominal muscles but not in the diaphragm in intact rats. In adrenalectomized rats, the effect was limited to the rectus femoris. Thyroidectomy decreased epinephrine induced glycogenolysis, and DOCA was unable to nullify this inhibitory effect. Progesterone had no effect on the glycogenolytic action of epinephrine.
