Immediately after total irradiation there develops in rabbits a hyperglycemic reaction. The degree of the hyperglycenbic reaction depends upon the initial level of blood sugar: in a high content of sugar there is a high hyperglycemic coefficient and vice versa. Inhibition of the central nervous system in urethane anesthesia leads to the intensification of the hyperglyceniic reaction in the irradiated animals. A high blood sugar content (hyperglycemic coefficient 1:1.5 to 2) is noted immediately after the irradiation and this high level is maintained for 5 to 6 hours. In the irradiated rabbits the adrenaline effect intensifies: the hyperglycemia caused by the introduction of adrenaline is more pronounced and prolonged in the irradiated animals than in the controls. The degree of adrenaline hyperglycemia sickness is, possibly, connected with the increased activity of the suprarenal cortex. (auth)
