Abstract
AS has been shown by H. Roels1 in other endocrine glands, I have found that, in the adrenal medulla of the white rat, there is a correlation between the mean deoxyribonucleic acid content of the nuclei and cell activity. A preliminary communication on this topic2 reports an increase of the nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid content after stimulation by means of daily injections of insulin, and also an important decrease in the resting gland after bilateral splanchnectomy.
