Synthesis of cholesterol from acetate in the rat was studied after injection of triton WR-1339, both in the whole animal and by the liver slice technique. Synthesis appeared to be increased 3-fold 24 hours after the injection. It was depressed after 72 hours, concurrently with a rise in the cholesterol concentration in the liver and its fall towards normal in the blood. When triton was injected...

A novel functional KH₂PO₄ (KDP) aqueous solution-in-oil (KDP aq/O) microemulsion system for KDP crystal ultra-precision chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) was prepared. The system, which consisted of decanol, Triton X-100, and KH₂PO₄ aqueous solution, was available at room temperature. The functional KDP aq/O microemulsion system was systematically studied and applied as polishing solution to ...

Injection of triton WR-1339 into rats leads to a rapid increase in the cholesterol, cholate, and various lipid fractions of their blood. The increase in cholesterol is confined to the blood itself. The cholesteremic effect of triton was not dependent upon a prior accumulation of cholate in plasma. The liver was found to be the source of the excess cholesterol but the rate of cholesterol synthes...

The subcellular distribution in rat liver of a phospholipid identified as bis-(monoacylglyceryl) phosphate (bis(MAG)P) has been investigated. In liver from untreated animals, 48 % of bis(MAG)P was recovered in a crude mitochondrial fraction where it was enriched 2.8-fold over the homogenate in terms of protein. When liver from animals who had received Triton WR-1339 by injection 3 days earlier ...

We construct symmetric cubature formulae of degrees in the 1339 range for the surface measure on the unit sphere. We exploit a recently published correspondence between cubature formulae on the sphere and on the triangle. Specifically, a fully symmetric cubature formula for the surface measure on the unit sphere corresponds to a symmetric cubature formula for the triangle with weight function (...

The administration of triton WR-1339 (300 mg./kg. subcutaneously) to tuberculin-sensitive guinea pigs 2 hours before the intradermal injection of PPD depresses slightly their skin sensitivity to tuberculin and essentially obliterates the lytic effect of tuberculin on their circulating leucocytes. When leucocytes from tuberculin-sensitive guinea pigs are exposed to triton in vitro at a concentra...
