The purpose of this thesis was (1) to determine a dietary regimen which would produce the greatest incidence of cardiac calcification in the cotton rat and (2) to determine the fatty acid composition of heart tissue.
Maximum incidence of cardiac calcification occurred from feeding torula yeast ration supplemented with 0.5%...
The blood thiamine concentration of 11 subjects was determined
by means of the Friedemann and Kmieciak (1943) method every 5 days
during a 30-day experimental period. Study I was conducted on 5
students in 1947 and Study II was conducted on 6 students in 1948.
The subjects in both studies...
The initial purpose of this study was to develop a reliable method
for the determination of vitamin B₆ in blood. At the present time
microbiological assays have demonstrated greater sensitivity and
specificity than other methods for the of vitamin B₆ in
pure solution and many foodstuffs. However, adetermination pplication of...
The volatile components of rye flour were isolated
by steam distillation and trapped in cold traps under
vacuum. After preliminary tests indicated the presence
of carbonyl compounds, the distillate was reacted with
2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine to convert the carbonyl compounds
to their stable derivatives, 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazones.
Three classes of monocarbonyls were...
Twenty-five idiopathic developmentally delayed children between
two and ten years old were studied. A group of thirty non-delayed
children of like age and sex was used as a control. Dietary
information was collected for each subject via a 24-hour dietary
recall, a two-day diet record, and a food frequency crosscheck....
The hypotheses of this research were (1) to test if
the antagonistic effect of ethanol on liver copper could
be seen within a short period when ethanol ingestion,
low dietary copper and high metabolic demand represented
by either pregnancy plus lactation or rapid growth are
simultaneously present and (2) to...
The effect of cooked wheat bran on the excretion of
fecal nutrients, fecal weight, and transit time was investigated
in 10 men, aged 20 to 35 years. The study was
divided into three 18-day periods. The subjects were
divided into two groups; one received the basal diet supplemented
with 15...
