Cardiovascular and metabolic responses to noradrenaline in man, before and after acclimatization to cold in Antarctica

1. Four men of European descent were infused with noradrenaline at rates of 0·038, 0·075, 0·150 and 0·300 μg/kg.min in Australia, and again after 29 weeks' residence at Mawson, Antarctica. A concurrent study of their responses to whole-body cooling showed that they acclimatized to cold in Antar...
