In this experiment, the adrenal medulla was removed from male rats and after 11 days, animals were sacrificed and the adrenal glands were incubated. Addition of epinephrine to the regenerating gland resulted in significant increase in corticosterone content in the gland. However, no significant changes were observed in the intact glands after epinephrine administration. The results of this experiment suggest that epinephrine may be playing a role in the adrenal cortex function.
在本实验中，从雄性大鼠身上摘除肾上腺髓质，11天后处死动物并对肾上腺进行孵育。向再生的肾上腺添加肾上腺素导致腺体中皮质酮含量显著增加。然而，给完整的肾上腺注射肾上腺素后未观察到显著变化。该实验结果表明，肾上腺素可能在肾上腺皮质功能中发挥作用。
