...arrived last week in the U.S. from England. U.S. sheep usually ovulate and are fertile only in the fall, can produce but one crop of lambs each year. But they can now be made to ovulate a second time when injected with an egg-ripening hormone produced in the anterior pituitary gland near the base of the brain. Ewes thus treated have already given birth twice yearly at the School of Agriculture at Cambridge, England. The egg-ripening hormone was discovered by Drs. Philip E. Smith and Earl T. Engle of Columbia. It was impossible to obtain it in useful...
...rushed through the body, poured out in the urine, without being properly digested or warehoused in the liver. Four groups of glands may be involved in this condition: the tiny islands of Langerhans in the pancreas, which secrete insulin, a hormone essential for carbohydrate digestion; the adrenals, thyroid and anterior pituitary, which seem to act antagonistically to the islets. Exactly how they work, or what causes them to go berserk, no one knows...
Diabetes is a disease of combustion. In diabetes, carbohydrates are rushed through the body without being digested, or warehoused in the liver. Involved in this condition are two glands: 1) the little islands of Langerhans in the pancreas, which secrete insulin, a hormone essential for carbohydrate digestion; 2) the anterior pituitary. Latest medical theory is that somehow the pituitary hormone, working overtime, stimulates the islands of Langerhans to febrile activity. First they pour forth enormous quantities of insulin; later their cells become exhausted, die from overwork...
...scientists experimented with dogs, gave some of them injections of anterior pituitary extract until their islets were worn out and their insulin content very low. Then they fed one set of animals a normal diet. Set No 2 got no food for several days. Set No. 3 got only fats. Set No. 4 got insulin and a normal amount of carbohydrates. Results: the first group developed severe diabetes; the others soon returned to normal insulin production and good health. Fasting and fat-feeding, as well as insulin injections, said the doctors, "allow the pancreatic islets to rest," give them time...
...Duchess of Windsor and the Duchess of Kent tied for first place in a Paris dressmakers' poll naming the world's ten "best-dressed" women. Deposed was Mme Anterior Patfno, now No. 3.
