Epinephrine causes the muscle tocontract, but the test is not so sensitive as the foregoing, especially inthe presence of blood serum, because the pressor substances therein con-tained also cause contraction. Blood plasma does not contain the pres-sor substances, so that oxalated plasma should be used in place of serum 742 THE ENDOCRINE ORGANS, OR DUCTLESS GLANDS in applying the test. To increase the sensitiveness of the muscle, theartery ring should be slightly stretched by loading the The blood vessels of a fro</. This method depends on the same prin-
