Abstract

1. Extirpation of the stellate gangha causes in albino rats a gradual increase in the heart weight. This weight increase is not caused by the accumulation of water, nor was an accumulation of connective tissue or fat detected by histological examinations. 2. If the ascending aorta of rats is narrowed at different times after stellate gangha extirpation, an exclusive left ventricle hypertrophy - as is the case in normal animals - is caused, which is superimposed on the general weight increase due to stellate ganglia extirpation. The hypertrophy is, however, the greater the longer the time elapsing between stellate ganglionectomy and narrowing of the aorta.
