The importance of adrenal glands in the adaptation of rats to physical exertion was studied. Exercise training, significantly increased the working ability and prevented the water accumulation in myocardial cells during acute exertion. The latter shift was characteristic of untrained animals. However, adrenalectomy abolished the benefical effect of training on working ability and myocardial adaptation to exertion. The results obtained supported the view that the effect of training is partly mediated through the improved adrenocortical function while adrenal hormones, by regulating the heart metabolism and function, significantly influenced the adaptation of rats to physical exertion.
研究了肾上腺在大鼠适应体力消耗过程中的重要性。运动训练显著提高了工作能力，并防止了急性运动期间心肌细胞中的水分积聚。后一种变化是未训练动物的特征。然而，肾上腺切除术消除了训练对工作能力和心肌对运动适应的有益作用。所得结果支持了这样一种观点，即训练的效果部分是通过改善肾上腺皮质功能来介导的，而肾上腺激素通过调节心脏代谢和功能，显著影响大鼠对体力消耗的适应。
