Notes:
This work was undertaken in an effort to determine the reason why the hepatic cell mitochondria of some animals show a structural response to adrenalin while others show no such reaction.It was found that those animals whose mitochondria are altered by adrenalin undergo a relatively great increase in the percentage of water in the liver. This acquisition of fluid by the liver is accompanied by a disturbance of the cell-plasma ratio of the blood. Those species whose mitochondria show no reaction to adrenalin have no change of volatile liver water, haematocrit reading, and probably have no change of total blood volume.
