Abstract
The effect of adrenaline in the organism of homoiotherm (hot bodied) animals lasts, on account of his easy oxidability, but a short time. The colourless solution of adrenaline when exposed to the open air becomes yellow and finally brown due to the oxidation. The different tissues of the body posses enzymatic systems, which are capable to oxidize the adrenaline. The oxidation may -occur at two places of its molecule: on the ring or on the chain with the production of ammonia.
