A pharmacological study of the effect of adrenaline, noradrenaline and acetylcholine on kidneys.

The effects of different doses of adrenaline, noradrenaline and acetylcholine administered intravenous intrarenal and intra-cerebro-ventricular routes were studied on the urine out put in dogs. The findings are correlated with the known haemodynamic actions of these neurohumors as well as their direct actions on the reabsorptive mechanisms of the renal tubules. The effects of ICV administration are possibly due to the liberation of A.D.H. from posterior pituitary.
