The effect of aspirin on adrenal ascorbic acid in rats with hypothalamic lesions was studied.
Lesions of the median eminence completely blocked the adrenal ascorbic acid depletion which normally occurs within one hour following the administration of aspirin (150 mgm./kgm.).
Partial lesions of the anterior median eminence, as well as lesions placed anterior and dorsal to the median eminence, did not alter the normal response to aspirin.
