Additional Notes on the Potassium-sulphocyanide Neutral-red Glucose Blood Serum Medium

Effect of nicotine on serum potassium and blood glucose.

potassium level. The liver has been established as the major source of the extra potassium in adrenaline hyperkalemia (5-7). On the other hand, nicotine stimulates adrenaline release from the adrenal glands (11-13), thereby the hyperglycemia is produced as the result of a pharmacological action of nicotine (14-16). As the authors are interested in the relation of the hepatic release of potassiu...

Some Additional Notes on the \princeton Robustness Year" Some Additional Notes on the \princeton Robustness Year"

About 25 years ago, Peter Bickel, Peter Huber and the author were invited to join John Tukey and spend the academic year 1970/71 at Princeton University in order to make a cooperative eeort for progress in robust statistics. What later was called the \Princeton robustness year," became widely known for its big Monte Carlo study of \robust location estimates under symmetric longtailed distributi...

Additional Alleles Affecting Red Blood Cell Antigens in the Chicken.

Inhibition of increases in blood glucose and serum neutral fat by Momordica charantia saponin fraction.

Focusing on a functional component of Momordica charantia, saponin, we investigated its effects on serum glucose and neutral fat levels. Saponin was extracted as a butanol-soluble fraction (saponin fraction) from hot blast-dried Momordica charantia powder. The disaccharidase-inhibitory activity and the pancreatic lipase-inhibitory activity of the saponin fraction were measured, and in vivo suga...

Glucose transport in human red blood cells

The penetration of D-[C] glucose into human red blood cells (RBCs) features kinetic parameters which are readily distinguishable from passive permeation. It would be expected to require activation energy above 80 kJ/mol for permeation of glucose with five hydroxyls capable of forming hydrogen bonds, but the measured activation energy is approximately 16 kJ/mol. As a consequence, glucose permeat...
