...Professor Collip, what? Possibly the Nobel Prize for Medicine. He was one of the co-discoverers, with Professor Frederick Grant Banting of the University of Toronto of insulin, another hormone. And Professor Banting received with his colleague John James Rickard Macleod the 1923 Nobel Prize for Medicine...
...Medical Research at the Uni-versity of Toronto, and his preceptor, John James Rickard Macleod, 53, Professor of Physiology at the University of Toronto until 1928. Since then Dr. Macleod has returned to his native Scotland to be Regius Professor of Physiology at the University at Aberdeen. They developed insulin...
Three University squash teams and the 1932 racquet wielders will engage in matches this afternoon in their respective classes. Team A. which will meet the Tennis and Racquet Club aggregation on the latter's courts in Boston, will be represented by W. J. Insulin '29. Ogden Phipps '31, B. H. Whitbeck '29. J. L. Ware '30, and C.D.G. Breckinridge...
Synthetic Insulin. John J. Abel and H. Jensen of Johns Hopkins reported that they had reduced insulin (hormone which controls the body's sugar) to crystals of relatively simple chemical content. In the crystals they found 3% sulphur, considerable nitrogen, five different ameno-acids. They are working to identify remaining insulin crystal constituents. When that is done they feel that they can make synthetic insulin much cheaper than the present animal product. Insulin is one of the four hormones so far isolated. Of the others: adrenalin, thyroxin and pituitrin...
Minerals for Diabetics. Analyzing insulin, whose active principle has not yet been isolated,* chemists find minute traces of cobalt and nickel, so some diabetics are now being experimentally fed with cobalt and nickel salts. Scientists coupled this observation with the known fact that soil qualities modify the characteristics of peoples through the plant life eaten directly or indirectly (through herbivorous animals). Example: In Switzerland where iodine is rare, goitre is common. Feeblemindedness and dwarfism are therefore frequent. The recommendation of Dean Jacob G. Lipman of the Rutgers College of Agriculture was that agriculturists go still further in seeking what proper...
