Bramah cinchonic test

Bramah cinchonic test (G. Bram, the American endocrinologist, was born in 1883) – the approximate way of diagnosis of a diffusion toxic craw which is based on effect of total absence or decrease in physiological reactions at introduction to a quinine organism (reductions of a spleen, decrease in excitability of a cardiac muscle and body temperature, etc.); expressiveness of effect is directly proportional to the level of standard metabolism at a diffusion toxic craw.
