Abstract The results of an electron-microscopic analysis of the adrenal medulla were compared with those of biochemical investigation of the blood catecholamine level during burn shock. In the erectile phase of burn shock adrenalin and noradrenalin stored in the depots is released, whereas in the torpid phase further liberation of the contents of the granules is accounted for entirely by adrenalin. A distinguishing feature of this period is the intensification of synthesis. After burning a holocrine type of secretion predominates and leads subsequently to exhaustion of the adrenal medulla. Reparative processes are characteristic of burns, but the synthesis and secretion of catecholamines take place less intensively than in healthy animals.
