Abstract
Recent work, both abroad and in our own laboratory, has pointed to some relationship between the adrenal glands and sulphur metabolism. Data gathered from the literature seemed to indicate that the content of sulphur found in the adrenals is higher than in the other organs. To quote briefly some of these references, we mention Schultz (1) who found 0.964 per cent sulphur in the liver, 0.7797 per cent in the spleen, and 0.8608 per cent in the muscle tissue. Other figures (2) show that the sulphur content in the liver varies from 0.75 to 1.1028 per cent in man, while in the ox it might be as high as 1.86 per cent. In the liver from 0.9643 to 2.5 per cent in man, and 1.75 per cent in the ox. In the spleen (3) the figures seem to vary from 0.7797 per cent in man to from 1.72 to 2.23 per cent in the ox. Work done by Katz (4) seems to give more uniform figures for the various species inasmuch as the percentage of sulphur content of muscle tissue is as follows : In man, 0.75 ; pig, 0.85 ; ox, 0.77 ; rabbit, 0.85...
