Growth hormone.—The changes occurring in the normal rat following the administration of growth hormone and those evoked by the growth of Walk er carcinoma 256 in the rat are similar in many respects. In both instances there is an increase in energy expenditure and a decrease in respiratory quotient (5, 15, 17). Accompanying both is an in crease in water content (2, 10) and a decrease in fat s...

Prolactin reverses the inhibitory effects of phammacologi cal doses of androgen on 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene induced mammary tumor growth (Quadri, S. K. , Kledzik, G. S., and Meites, J. J. NatI. Cancer Inst., 52: 875-878, 1974). To determine whether this effect is due to an alteration in the ability of the tumor cell to bind prolactin, we have quantitated prolactin receptors in androgen-me...

monly used agent for local surface anes− thesia. The adverse effects of Xylocaine are more common with intravenous in− jections or rapid injections than with sur− face anesthesia. We present a case of a 52−year−old white English woman who underwent upper gastrointestinal endos− copy for dyspepsia. The patient was premedicated with five sprays of Xylocaine (10 mg/spray) in the throat. Endoscopy ...

1. Rabbits: Three rabbits received a total of six injections at 4-day intervals. The first injection was intraperi toneal. In subsequent injections the antigen homogenates were divided into two halves by light centrifugation. The sediment was in jected intraperitoneally in the morning, in amounts of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.0, and 2.0 ml. in order, in each of the five injections; 0.5 ml. of the superna...

Background: Despite advances in the medical care of renal transplant recipients which have led to an improvement in allograft survival, renal allograft rejection is still a major ob-stacle to successful organ transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to allograft rejection will be of great importance for the development of efficient antirejection strategies. Objective: The aim ...
