Abstract

AbstractLundholm. L. and N. Svedniyr. Infuence of adrenalbie on blood fow and metabolism in the human forearm. Acta physiol. scand. 1963. 65. 344–351. Intravenous infusion of adrenaline appreciably raised the blood flow. oxygen consumption, CO2‐‐production, CO2‐‐tension and lactic acid elimination in the human forearm. The interrelationship of these effects is discussed. The rise in CO2‐‐production is assumed to have been due to increased oxygen consumption as well as to an increase in the lactic acid content of the tissues. The rise in GO2‐‐tension resulted from an augniented CO2 production. Adrenaline's observed vasodilator effect is attributed at least in part. to heighted CO2 tension of blood and tissues.
