The effects of different levels of copper in the diet on growth
rates, blood and liver copper concentrations, hemoglobin levels,
and cytochrome c oxidase activities were determined in the cotton
rat. The response of the cotton rat to different levels of copper was
analagous to that of the common laboratory...
An all-glass gas chromatograph was developed for the analysis
of corrosive metal halides. Included in the apparatus is a new liquid
sampling system designed for fast repetitive sampling of corrosive
liquids in an inert atmosphere. A flame photometer detector was developed
to permit the detection of corrosive solutes in the...
The inhibitory effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) upon the
metabolism of glucose and fructose by proliferating cells of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (OSU strain 2) has been examined. By
the use of radiotracer methods, particularly radiorespirometric
techniques, it has been possible to demonstrate that the rate of
hexose assimilation by yeast cells is...
