Abstract
The secretions of the adrenal medulla account for many of the instantaneous responses of the animal body to various stimuli, but it has not been established that such secretions play any significant role in the endocrine regulation of salt and water metabolism. On the other hand, it has been established that the adrenal cortex and the antidiuretic hormone of the posterior pituitary are intimately involved in such processes. Certain compounds of the amine type, among which are the adrenal medullary hormone, do have a dramatic action on water diuresis; but it is questioned whether these substances are involved in the physiological processes involving normal water metabolism (Eversole, et al., 1940,1942,1952; Gaunt, et al., 1945, 1949; Stein and Wertheimer, 1944).
