Popis: 1. Entamoeba coli endotoxin was administered intravenously to cats and dogs. 2. The changes in circulating levels of catecholamines and angiotensin following endotoxin were assayed by a continuous superfusion technique. 3. The response of the dog was characterized by an immediate sustained rise in angiotensin levels and a later variable rise in catecholamine levels. 4. The response of the cat was characterized by an early rise in catecholamine levels and a later rise in angiotensin levels. 5. It is concluded that this species difference may reflect the relative importance of renin-angiotensin and sympatho-adrenal systems of dogs and cats, respectively.
