Development of oxidative metabolism in the non-innervated optic lobe of the chick.

Early removal of the optic cup of the chick embryo prevents innervation of the contralateral optic lobe. This reduces the rate of development od citrate synthetase. The posthatch increase of the level of this enzyme related to oxidative metabolism is not impaired by denervation of the chick optic lobe.     

Effect of chemical sympathectomy,adrenalectomy and adrenergicα- andβ-blocking agents on the development of hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin in the rat

Summary The sympathetic nervous system in the rat does not play any significant role in the streptozotocin-induced and tolbutamipe-induced hypoglycemia.     

Demonstration of different metabolic pathways starting with glucose or fructose in Rhizobium meliloti]

Rhizobium meliloti can produce many polysaccharides on D-fructose and D-mannitol. In glucose-grown cultures, few polysaccharides are observed and 2 keto-gluconate is accumulated.     

The control of contraction activation by the membrane potential

Summary Force measurements under voltage-clamp control were performed in short toe muscles of the frog. The results show a) that the activation of force development and its repriming process can at least qualitatively be correlated to charge movement kinetics; b) that caffeine improves EC coupling by potentiating the potential dependent activation process.This work was supported by DFG (SFB 114 Bionach) and DAAD.     

On the prevention of loss of RNA into lipid solvents

Résumé La perte de RNA dans les solvants tels que l'éthanol et l'acétone, au cours de la délipidation des nucléoprotéines précipitées par l'acide, peut être évitée en traitant le précipité (obtenu à une concentration quelconque d'acide trichloracétique) par le dioxane avant d'extraire avec les autres solvants délipidants usuels.
