Summary

The injection of adrenaline hydrochloride into mature female mice is able to inhibit the occurrence of oestrus.

The injection of adrenaline hydrochloride into immature female mice prevents the onset of sexual maturity.

Adrenaline does not interfere with the action of α-hormone (œstrin) on the uterus and vagina; it has an inhibitory effect on the action of gonadotropic hormones (prepared from pregnancy urine) on the ovary.

I should like to thank Mr P. G. Marshall for the supply of gonadotropic preparation from pregnancy urine used in these experiments.
