Page 150 - In order to maintain nitrogenous equilibrium, nitrogenous food stuffs must be ingested in such quantities, and in such form that the ammonia produced therefrom in the digestive tract is sufficient to maintain the intracellular alkalinity of the liver and probably other tissues. In order to fully understand this mechanism it is of importance here to consider the products other than nitrogenous bodies which are formed during autolysis.
Page 70 - Tincture of digitalis is less efficient as a cardiac stimulant (that is a drug which increases the cardiac output per beat) than squill, in that it has not the same effect in increasing the energy of contraction of the heart. Moreover, it is not possible by altering the relative dosage of digitalis to produce a stimulant effect in any way comparable to that of squill. Digitalis has less peripheral effect on the vagal mechanism than squill. 6. Tincture of strophanthus being eight to...
Page 408 - ... were of a kind similar to this one, and that the long latent period, which he attributed to secretin, belonged to the diet. There appears to us to be no sufficient evidence that secretin, when given by the mouth, can abolish or influence the glycosuria of severe diabetes. In the light of Starling's experience, that in animals secretin is not absorbed when introduced even in large amount into the alimentary canal, it seemed desirable to try the effect of full doses of secretin given subcutaneously....
Page 150 - The excess disappears gradually, however, if the animal is deprived of food. A certain stage will then be reached, when the production of acid exceeds the amount of ammonia available for neutralization ; the autolytic enzyme then comes into play, liberates amino-acids, etc., which in their turn pass the alimentary tract, and by means of the metabolic processes there taking place liberate ammonia, which again inhibits the production of nitrogenous degradation products. Degradation of tissue should...

Page 296 - The value of the concentration of the total inorganic salts of mammalian serum is equivalent to that of a 09 per cent. solution of sodium chloride, this expressed as a fraction of a normal solution amounts to 0-15 normal.
