Abstract
Catechol hormones (Norepinephrine and Epinephrine) content in the adrenal medulla of 25 species of the newly-hatched and adult birds were investigated. Norepinephrine (NE) and Epinephrine (E) were found to be the major hormones in the adrenal medulla of the newly-hatched passerine and non-passerine birds respectively. E was the preponderant hormone in the adrenal medulla of the adult passerine birds. The adrenal medulla of the adult non-passerine birds produced either NE as the predominant catechol hormone or NE and E in almost equal proportion as the adrenomedullary hormones.
