Parts III and IV deal with the actions of growth hormone in fat, nitrogen, and carbohydrate metabolism. The actions of pancreatic and adrenal hormones in these systems are related to and contrasted with those of growth hormone, resulting in a wide coverage of hormonal influences on metabolism. The work is at a level where the fundamental mechanisms of action can be discussed in terms of individ...

Serum aminoglutethimide (AG) and N-acetylaminoglutethimide (NAG) concentrations were measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) in 24 postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer receiving increasing doses of oral AG. Patients received 62.5mg b.d., 125mg b.d., 250mg b.d., and 500mg b.d. of AG alone, and 500mg b.d. of AG combined with hydrocortisone (HC) 20mg b.d. Dose was increa...

Lewisia kelloggii isozyme variation was studied in six Idaho and seven California populations. Lewisia kelloggii is polyploid, and was treated in analysis as an allotetraploid. The species is highly variable genetically (85% of loci polymorphic, 3.3 alleles per locus) and populations are highly differentiated (Fst = 0.77). All California and the Greencreek Lake populations are diverse, but most...

Constructive reuse (versus degradation) of plant biomass residuals with braided twine, rope, hammocks, baskets, etc.

products, has directed attention to autotrophic microorganisms as possible agents for the production of organic matter on a commercial scale. E. C. Wassink discusses the practical as well as fundamental problems encountered in the culture of algae on a mass scale. The difficulties which arise in attempts to produce dense populations in a short time provide, incidentally, an insight into the com...
