Abstract We have studied the effect of propranolol on the eosinopenic responses of cortisol, isoproterenol, and aminophylline. Blood was drawn for a base-line total eosinophil count (TEC) from fasting male volunteers at 8 a.m. followed by propranolol, 40 mg., or a placebo orally. Later, one drug or a placebo was given according to the following schedule: cortisol, 25 mg. intravenously at 9 a.m., isoproterenol, 0.05 mg. subcutaneously at 11 a.m., and aminophylline, 500 mg. intravenously at noon. A second base-line TEC was obtained at 11 a.m., and a final TEC was obtained in, all patients at 1 p.m. When only placebos were given, a significant mean fall in the TEC of 14 per cent was seen in the first 3 hours (p
