[Sympathetico-adrenal system function in myoma and cancer of the corpus uteri].

The study was concerned with the functional status of sympatho-adrenal system in cases of myoma and cancer of the uterine body and in healthy subjects. Cancer patients showed a paradoxical reaction to the subcutaneous injection of adrenaline: a 15 mm Hg drop in blood pressure matched by a rise in healthy subjects. Hyperglycemic coefficient in standard glucose load test was higher in cancer patients--by 32 and 44% at minutes 60 and 90, respectively, as compared with normals. No pronounced disturbances in sympatho-adrenal system functioning were registered in myoma patients.
