Popis: SAUNDERS (1951) reported that lipo-adrenal extract decreased the number of fatalities in sensitized adrenalectomized mice challenged with the antigen while desoxycorticosterone (DOC) offered no protection. These experiments have now been extended to other types of shock using cystalline steroids. Eight means of inducing shock were selected and the protective effects of several representative compounds have been studied. In this paper only the initial phase of shock is considered, and observations are confined to survival rates during the first few hours after a severe stress.
