“…It appears likely that these changes were therefore a consequence of decreased blood flow through the gland. The effects of very large doses of adrenaline (150-170 /tg/kg) on thyroid 131I release in the dog have been studied by Amiragova (1960), who reported an increased 131I release in seventeen out of fifty-five experiments. In other experiments electrical and reflex stimulation of dogs was shown to increase the release of 131J from the thyroid; this was concluded 28-2 431 432 1.…”

1. Emotional stimulus to the sheep has previously been shown to cause increased thyroid hormone secretion; the influence of adrenaline and noradrenaline in this process has been investigated. 2. Sheep bearing exteriorized thyroid glands on carotid artery—jugular vein loops were used. Thyroid vein blood was collected through a cannula in the jugular vein within the loop, and blood flow was measured by a plethysmographic technique. 3. 131I (50 μc) was injected intramuscularly ( I.M.) into the sheep, and 4‐7 days later the concentration of total and protein bound 131I in thyroid vein blood was measured in samples taken every 10 min for 4 hr. Intracarotid injections of 1 μg, I.V. injections of 5 μg, or I.V. infusions at 10 μg/min for 10 min, of adrenaline or noradrenaline were administered 1·5 hr after commencement of sampling. Blood flow from the thyroid was measured in similar experiments. 4. No significant changes in thyroid hormone secretion could be attributed to adrenaline or noradrenaline, and it was concluded that circulating catecholamines do not influence the release of thyroid hormone observed after brief emotional stimulus in the sheep.
