In cooled pentobarbitalized cats, epinephrine, in doses just in excess of the physiological rate of secretion, suppresses shivering and consequently reduces the total metabolism by decreasing the amount of oxygen consumed by this activity. These effects are attributed to a depression by epinephrine of the central motor mechanisms involved in the execution of shivering.
