After the administration of physostigmine, either intravenously or subcutaneously, in cats, the epinephrin output of the adrenals was found to be augmented (to as much as 10 to 15 times the initial output). The stage of augmentation is prolonged and is preceded by a transient diminution.
No evidence was obtained that after section of the splanchnics and other nerves going to the adrenals, physostigmine can increase the epinephrin output by peripheral action.
