[Effect of Freund's complete adjuvant on the catecholamine content in the adrenals and brain of white rats]. 1978

M P Prozorovskaia, and M Iu Eropkin, and I P Ashmarin

The authors studied the effect of a single subcutaneous injection of 0.3 ml of complete Freund's adjuvant on catecholamine content in the adrenal glands and the brain of Wistar rats. There proved to be a sharp reduction of adrenaline and noradrenaline content per gm of adrenal gland raw tissue, and per one adrenal gland at periods of from 1 to 5 weeks after the adjuvant administration, and also a loss of the adrenal gland weight. A less pronounced, but significant increase in the noradrenaline and DOPA concentration was revealed in the brain tissue during the first week after the adjuvant administration, and, of dopamine at all the periods of study. It is suggested that both the peripheral and central links of the sympathoadrenal system were activated by the nonspecific stimulant.

D005620 Freund's Adjuvant An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil. The complete form is made up of killed, dried mycobacteria, usually M. tuberculosis, suspended in the oil phase. It is effective in stimulating cell-mediated immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR) and potentiates the production of certain IMMUNOGLOBULINS in some animals. The incomplete form does not contain mycobacteria. Freund Adjuvant,Adjuvant, Freund,Adjuvant, Freund's,Freunds Adjuvant
