TY - JOUR T1 - THE INFLUENCE OF EPINEPHRINE ON SHIVERING AND ON METABOLISM IN THE COLD JF - Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO - J Pharmacol Exp Ther SP - 247 LP - 251 VL - 68 IS - 2 AU - V.

GOLDSTONE Y1 - 1940/02/01 UR - http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/68/2/247.abstract N2 - 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. ER -
