1. The ratios between the rates of growth of the body and of the heart, kidneys, and liver are approximately uniform between 40 gm. body weight and the body weight at maturity in the albino rat. The male and female hearts grow at 0.75 times the rate of growth of the body, the male kidneys at 0.717 times, the female kidneys at 0.648 times, and the liver at 0.838 times the rate of growth of the b...

Organ Donation Awareness: Rethinking Media Campaigns

Linum mucronatum: organ to organ lignan variations.

The percentage of podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and its congener lignans were measured by HPLC in Linum mucronatum ssp. mucronatum (Linaceae) fresh plant organs. The highest amounts of PTOX (0.595 +/- 0.060% g/g dry wt) and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (MPTOX) (1.491 +/- 0.125% g/g dry wt) were found in the plant sexual organs. Whereas, the highest levels of beta-peltatin, 5'-demethoxy-MPTOX and yatein we...
