The effect of prolonged exercise and in vivo treatment with ACTH and norepinephrine on plasma control and on the levels of energy metabolites in liver, muscle and blood of the guinea pig ( Cavia porcellus)

1. 1. Exercise and in vivo treatment with adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) showed a marked tendency to increase in vivo plasma cortisol levels in the guinea pig ( Cavia porcellus). 2. 2. However, in vivo norepinephrine (NE) treatment did not have any notable effect on plasma cortisol levels. 3. 3...

Summary:1. 1. Exercise and in vivo treatment with adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) showed a marked tendency to increase in vivo plasma cortisol levels in the guinea pig ( Cavia porcellus). 2. 2. However, in vivo norepinephrine (NE) treatment did not have any notable effect on plasma cortisol levels. 3. 3. Metabolite levels (glycogen, glycerol and lactate) in liver and plantaris and soleus muscle, and the levels of glucose, glycerol and lactate in blood, were determined in response to the same treatments. 4. 4. A number of statistically significant changes, as well as certain trends, in metabolite levels were observed in response to the treatments and are discussed.
