Endocrine and Metabolic Response to Shock and Trauma.
Abstract
In adrenalectomized-pancreatectomized Rhesus monkeys, it was shown that hyperglucagonemia does not directly cause significant nitrogen loss in post-operative primates receiving eucaloric nutritional support and that in post-operative primates receiving reduced calories, elimination of pancreatic glucagon is associated with decreased urinary losses in nitrogen. In adrenalectomized Rhesus monkeys, it was shown that cortisol metabolism has a defined chronologic pattern composed of the combination of a circadian and an infradian rhythms and may play a role in the composite patterns of circadian cortisol rhythms observed in the intact animal.
