THE EFFECT OF ADRENALINE, NORADRENALINE AND HYPERTENSIN ON THE VASCULAR DISTENSIBILITY OF THE HAND

W. E. WATSON*

Department of Neurology, Churchill Hospital Oxford, England

The distensibility of the capacity blood vessels of the hand was measured in eight normal subjects, before and during the administration of adrenaline, noradrenaline and hypertensin.

In all subjects the infusions of these vaso-active substances was associated with a decrease in dis-tensibility of the capacity vessels. The clinical significance of these findings is discussed.

*Present address: Royal Northern Hospital, London.
