Died. Dr. James Bertram Collip, 72, Belleville, Ont., biochemist, purifier and co-developer (with Nobel Prizewinners Sir Frederick Banting and Dr. J.J.R. MacLeod, and Dr. Charles H. Best) of insulin for the treatment of diabetes, who also won world renown for his study of hormones, which regulate the body's metabolic functions, becoming one of the pioneers in the isolation of wonder-working ACTH and cortisone; following a cerebral hemorrhage; in London...
Newshawks (whom he hated) and col leagues last week recalled some episodes of Sir Frederick's turbulent career. He was a stubborn man of strong feelings, sudden temper, trenchant speech. After insulin was discovered in 1921, Biochemist James Bertram Collip was called in to polish up the glandular extraction technique. The stuff began to be called "Collip's extract." Banting leaped on Collip in the university halls, threw him down, banged his head on the floor, bellowed: "So, you will call this 'Collip's extract,' will...
Macleod retaliated by giving Collip half of his share. Macleod is dead now, and time softened the animosity between Collip and Banting. Said Dr. Collip last week: ''I have lost a close personal friend." Few years ago Banting was invited by a U. S. university to deliver a two-hour discourse on diabetes. "Hell," he observed, "for all I know about diabetes 15 minutes would be enough." He had known even less than that about it the October night in 1920 when he sat down to brush up for a lecture to students next day. He knew...
That the delicate linings of the nose are influenced by sex hormones is a theory well-known to biologists. Four years ago Biochemist Hector Mortimer of Montreal's McGill University and his colleagues, Dr. Robert Percy Wright and Nobel Prize-sharer James Bertram Collip, one of the discoverers of insulin, decided to put the theory to practical use. They dropped small amounts of female sex hormone estrogen into the noses of patients who suffered from atrophic rhinitis (withering of the nasal mucous membranes). Many patients recovered. But they were amazed when one woman announced that a ringing...
Front Lobe. The pituitary gland consists of three parts, two lobes and a narrow middle. In the smaller rear lobe, two hormones have been fairly well identified (alpha-hypophamine and beta-hypophamine), which appear respectively to influence uterine contractions and blood pressure. Biochemist James Bertram Collip of Montreal's McGill University discovered a hormone of the middle pituitary (appropriately called intermedia) which affects, though it does not exclusively control, the blood sugar level...
