It is conjectured that the hyperglycsemia and glycosuria which resultfrom Bernards sugar puncture are accompanied by and probably largely dueto stimulation of the suprarenals through the splanchnics causing the passageof an excess of adrenalin into the blood, which in turn produces increased. Fio. 43.—Effect on blood-pressure of stimulating the splanchnic nerves. The first rise in blood-pressure is caused by constriction of the vessels of the splanchnic area, the second by out-pouring of adrenalin into the blood. The numbers above the abscissa denote the numberof pulse beats in ten seconds, (v. Anrep.)
