VASCULAR CHANGES PRODUCED, BY ADRENALIN IN VERTEBRATES

Chitin Is Endogenously Produced in Vertebrates

Chitin, a biopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is abundant in invertebrates and fungi and is an important structural molecule [1, 2]. There has been a longstanding belief that vertebrates do not produce chitin; however, we have obtained compelling evidence to the contrary. Chitin synthase genes are present in numerous fishes and amphibians, and chitin is localized in situ to the lumen of the deve...

Electrophysiologic Changes Produced by Intravenous Alcohol

The effect of alcohol (.1 mg/kg) on the sinus node and atrioventricular node was studied in 9 mongrel dogs. The sinus node function was evaluated by the sinus node recovery time and the atrioventricular node by the highest atrial pacing rate at which Wenckebach periodicity was developed. The effect was studied for 45 minutes. Three groups were identified: Group I, Low Concentration of Alcohol (...

Vascular transcriptional alterations produced by juvenile obesity in Ossabaw swine.

We adopted a transcriptome-wide microarray analysis approach to determine the extent to which vascular gene expression is altered as a result of juvenile obesity and identify obesity-responsive mRNAs. We examined transcriptional profiles in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), perivascular fat adjacent to the LAD, and descending thoracic aorta between obese (n = 5) and lean (n = ...

Adrenalin in Plague

a new drug is calculated to induce other medical men to try it, with eventual benefit to suffering humanity, however obscure the member of our profession may be, from whom the testimony may come. My first acquaintance with the value of the suprarenal capsule as a medicinal agent took place within two months of my starting practice in Bombay. Four fivegrain tablets of the capsule dissolved in a ...
