Summary The effect of catecholamines on oxygen uptake in dog hind limb skeletal muscle was continuously calculated from arterio-venous O2 saturation difference and blood flow data. Adrenalin and noradrenalin injected or perfused intraarterially or intravenously, always increased oxygen uptake to the same extent. The rise in consumption resulted mainly from an increase in the extraction of oxygen from blood under all hemodynamic conditions. Such an effect was repeatable by multiple short-spaced injections. The results suggest that adrenalin, as well as noradrenalin, actually increase oxygen consumption, independently of their vascular effects.
