Twenty-five undergraduates, chiefly Freshmen, trained for middle distance running under the direction of Coach Bill Neufeld throughout the college year. Every two weeks they ran on a tread mill in the Laboratory to test their oxygen consumption, lactic acid content of the blood, and general endurance. Careful check was kept on basal metabolism during the experiment...
...Supercharger." Glycogen, a form of starch manufactured in the liver, is the substance which the body uses for quick energy. When glycogen is consumed, lactic acid is produced-mostly a waste product since a good part of it breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. But some lactic acid is reconverted into glycogen, which is then available for further energy release. Last week Dr. George Bogdan Kistiakowsky and five co-workers of Harvard compared this operation to that of a gasoline engine supercharger, which uses the energy of exhaust gases to pump air at high pressure into the firing cylinders...
...paper explained that blue crab canning has heretofore been impracticable because the crabs have unstable protein molecules, which, in the heat required for canning, release copper, cause blue copper oxide to form. By dipping the meat in a solution of sodium chloride, lactic acid and aluminum salts, the new process seals the copper into the crab proteins...
...rats whose pictures duly appeared in the News alongside Murderer Robert Irwin, Spy Johanna Hofmann, the Duchess of Windsor. Following methods suggested by earlier experiments in Germany and England he douched female rats with 2% or 3% bicarbonate of soda solution to get male offspring, with 1% or 2% lactic acid solution to get females, then mated them as quickly as possible. In forty-two litters since last July, Director Durfee has reported 100% success in predetermining the predominant sex. Rat A845 (see cut) was douched once with lactic acid and bore six females, two males. Then she was douched...
Corn fodder can be stored in silos because it has a high content of carbohydrates. Fermentation breaks down the carbohydrates into lactic and acetic acids, which inhibit bacterial action, keep the fodder from rotting. Untreated hay, wet or not, rots in a silo because it is so low in carbohydrate content that the alkaline products of fermentation overcome the effect of the acids. Monsanto's technique is to chop up the hay, blow it into a silo and blow "Phosilage" in with it. "Phosilage," which is 75% phosphoric acid, neutralizes the alkalinity, allows the natural acids to do their...
