  • Glycogen utilization in newborn rats subjected to cold stress

    Creator:
    Van Tassel, Loren Eugene
    Abstract:
    Newborn rats exhibit a torporous response to cold stress at 2°C from which they revive after several hours exposure even though respiratory, cardiovascular, and muscular movements have ceased. At less severe temperatures (20 to 25°C) the rats respond with a non-torporous decrease in metabolic and physiologic activity and a lowering...

  • Physiology of the corpus luteum of the rat

    Creator:
    Shumake, James Michael
    Abstract:
    Rat luteal cells from functional and non-functional corpora lutea (corpora lutea rendered non-functional by hypophysectomy) were preserved for light and electron microscopy in Bouin's and glutaraldehyde-osmium fixation respectively. Material for electron microscopy was dehydrated with ethanol, embedded in Araldite and stained with lead hydroxide or uranyl acetate-lead citrate. Examination of...

  • Effects of chronic coumestrol administration on female rats

    Creator:
    Chan, Elaine Chi-ling
    Abstract:
    The effects of coumestrol on the uterine weight, uterine fluid imbibition, uterine nucleic acid content, adrenal weight and body weight of female rats were studied. Daily doses of 20 micrograms of coumestrol per 0.1cc propylene glycol were administered subcutaneously to spayed rats following a seven day recovery period, for durations...
