“Saccharoid fraction,” defined as the nonglucose reducing substances in blood, increases both in hyperglycemia (blood glucose concentration exceeding 280 mg/dI) and hypoglycemia (blood sugar less than 65 mg/dI) in rats. This increase is not completely accounted for by glutathione, glucuronic acid, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and creatinine. Some of the constituents of saccharoid fraction seem to ...

The vapor pressures of dog's blood and blood plasma were determined at 37.5 degrees by the dynamic method and the osmotic pressures calculated from the experimental data. The vapor pressures calculated from experimentally determined freezing point data agreed, within the experimental error, with the values obtained from direct measurement. The vapor pressure lowering produced by the colloid con...

Reindeer management in the Fennoscandian area is currently facing challenges such as degradation of winter pastures, which may lead in the most severely affected areas to a concurrent decline in reindeer herd productivity. The use of often expensive supplementary feeding to prevent production losses has increased the demand for studies on the physiological effects of nutritional restriction and...
