Book Description

Excerpt from The Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, 1902, Vol. 36 IN studying the literature dealing with the development of fat, it very soon becomes Obvious that opinions in the past were very much divided, and two important views were held. On the one side there were Observers who insisted on the belief that fat cells were developed from special cells set aside for the purpose of developing and storing fat on the other, that fat cells were not specific structures, but that fat was stored up in cells which were everywhere widespread, and were constituents Of connective tissue.

The American Journal of Physiology, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The American Journal of Physiology, Vol. 7 Although investigators do not agree as to the cause of coagulation, it is generally accorded that the coagulation temperatures of the different proteids may be modified considerably by the presence of a salt and by the reaction of the solution. The present work was undertaken at Dr. Loeb's suggestion and carried out under his direction to ascertain the effects of certain solutions upon (a) the temperature for the sudden coagulation of proteids in the muscle in situ, (b) the time necessary for coagulation at room temperature. On the Effects of Solutions upon the Coagulation Temperature of Muscle Substance. Method. - The gastrocnemius of the frog was used throughout the experiments. The muscle was placed in a covered dish containing 50 c.c. of the solution to be tested and was allowed to stand one hour at room temperature. It was then arranged for graphic registration upon the kymograph. A glass rod bent at right angles was screwed into the support holding the lever. The lower end of the rod drawn out to a fine point passed through the tendon of Achilles. The upper end of the muscle was attached to the short arm of the lever by means of a silk thread tied to a copper hook, which passed through the tendon covering the end of the femur. The solution was transferred to a beaker and arranged so that it surrounded the glass rod with it, attached muscle without touching the copper hook. A source of error pointed out by Vernon was thus avoided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease


Book Description

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
