Red cell metabolism in red and grey kangaroos

Glucose utilization, lactate production and glutathione regeneration were measured in the red blood cells of 2 species of Australian Marsupials, Eastern grey Kangaroo (Macropus gigantus) and red kangaroo (Macropus rufus), and were found to be significantly lower in the red blood cells from grey than that of red kangaroos.     

Alterations in lipid metabolism following trauma in rabbits

Zusammenfassung Nach Knochenverletzung beim Kaninchen kommt es im Blut zu einer drastischen Erhöhung der gesamten Lipide, freien Fettsäuren und des Cholesterols, während die Veränderungen des Serum-Phospholipids nur geringfügig ist. Die Erhöhung bleibt bis zum 9. Tag nach erfolgtem Knochenbruch.

Ion-solvent interaction: Viscosity,apparent molar volume and conductivity of univalent electrolytes in dioxanewater mixtures at different temperatures

Summary The viscosity, apparent molar volume and conductivity of NaCl, KCl, NaBr, KBr, NaNO₃ and KNO₃ solutions at mass fraction of dioxane (10, 20 and 30%)-water mixtures at 30–45°C±0.01°C have been measured. The ions appear to interact appreciably, and the ion-solvent interaction is of the order NO₃ ^–>Br^–>Cl^–.
