Pike, John Wesley 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D: Hormonal Regulation of Biosynthesis and Purification of Its Intestinal Receptor

The renal biosynthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (l,25-(OH)2B) is known to be stringently regulated by extensive ionic and hormonal controls. Quantitation of this mineral regulating hormone by radio­ receptor assay has recently enabled a study of its influence and syn­ thetic control during physiological states of growth and reproduction. The data reveal that 1,25-(0H)̂ D is strikingly elevated...

Revealing sparks: John Wesley and the religious utility of electrical healing.

In an attempt to make the results applicable to the class of all practical regression problems, the parameters relevant to a comparison of the techniques involved were varied systematically. An outline of the design follows. (1) The residual variance ((sigma)('2)) ...
