“…Adrenal hypertrophy with a resulting exhaustion of these glands was observed. Since adrenal cortical hormones have been found to control, at least in part, the activity of D-amino acid oxidase in the liver (Umbreit and Tonhazy, 1951) and probably the kidneys Wilhelmi, 1940, 1941), this study may indicate that an endocrine disturbance during infection is responsible for the abnormal nitrogen distribution observed by Woodward et al (1954) and by Sbarra and Woodward (1955).…”
Recent work (Woodward et al., 1954 and Sbarra and Woodward, 1955) concerning the host-parasite relationship in tularemia has demonstrated the occurrence of disturbances in nitrogen metabolism during the course of the disease. On

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
