[Calorigenic effect of catecholamines in dinitrophenol poisoning].

Experiments were conducted on male albio rats; calorigenic effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline was studied against the background of dinitrophenol poisoning. Dinitrophenol proved to potentiate the metabolic action of catecholamines. It is supposed that this potentiating effect was connected with the peculiarities of the energy metabolism occurring in uncoupling respiration and phosphorylation.
