JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFourty-eight-hour starved albino rats were fed C14-labelled fatty acids, glycerol and lecithin and serum assays were carried out three hours afterwards for specific radioactivities of phospholipids and their individual fatty acid constituents, with the results which may be summarized as follows:
1. Phospholipid biosynthesis in the intestinal wall from dietary fatty acids was prominently active when the animals were fed linoleic acid.
2. The results obtained indicate that the two-fatty-acid constituents of phospholipid synthetized in the intestinal wall of animals receiving linoleic acid are probably both linoleic acids.
3. It is likely that neither dietary glycerol nor the glycerol of dietary lecithin takes part in the intramural phospholipid biosynthesis.View full abstractDownload PDF (278K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSerum assays for specific radioactivity of cholesterol esters and triglycerides were performed with blood samples drawn from albino rats 3 hours after administration of specified fatty acids and or free cholesterol or cholesterol esters labelled with radioactive C14 upon starvation for 48 hours. The labelled fatty acids used included palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. The results may lead to the following conclusions:
1. Cholesterol esters produced in the intestinal wall from dietary cholesterol or from cholesterol originating from ingested cholesterol esters are in limited quantities. Both dietary fatty acids and plasma fatty acids take part in the cholesterol esterification which proceeds in the intestinal wall whereas neither the cholesterol excreted in the intestinal tract nor the plasma cholesterol participates to any remarkable degree in the intramural esterification.
2. In the biosynthetic process of re-esterification of cholesterol derived from dietary cholesterol esters that takes place in the intestinal wall, the fattyacid components of ingested cholesterol esters are replaced with simultaneously administered (dietary) fatty acids.View full abstractDownload PDF (325K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe prevalence of obesity among 2, 000 Japanese subjects admitted to our hospital for health-checking and the relationship between obesity and the incidence of diabetes, hypertension and myocardial damage in E.C.G., were studied. Results obtained are as follows.
1. More than 1/3 males aged 40-69 were 10% or more above the standard weight.
2. In the Japanese there may be more obese men than women, in contrast to the Americans.
3. Among the men aged 40-69, obesity has significantly increased incidence of diabetes, hypertension and myocardial damage.View full abstractDownload PDF (328K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn observation about the height and weight of 374 college women and their parents was made. The weights are expressed as percent deviation from the standard weight. Results obtained are as follows.
1. There was statistically significant correlation for weight between father and mother, although no significant correlation for height was found. This finding strongly suggests the importance of environmental factors in the occurrence of obesity.
2. There were highly significant correlations for height between both parents and daughter, while a slightly significant correlation for weight was found only between mother and daughter.
3. In the families engaged in selling foods, there were significant more obese daughters.
4. On the basis of these findings, it is concluded that height is strongly influenced by genetic predisposition, while the adult weight is considerably in fluenced by acquired environmental factors.View full abstractDownload PDF (358K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn 63 cases, angiotomography was performed during cerebral angiography. These findings were described and the purpose, significance and indication discussed.
The apparatus for radiography was CGR Princeps 50 cephalography apparatus, with the angle of swing of 30°.
This is quite useful for visualization of deep cerebral vein especially internal cerebral vein.
When indication such as cerebral aneurysm, brain tumor and congenital anomaly are adequately selected, vascular density is not interfered with bone density and difficulty for interpretation to overlapping of blood vessels is solved.View full abstractDownload PDF (1489K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper a polyethylene catheter was inserted into the efferent lymphatic of lymph nodes which have been thought to be a main route of release of lymph, including lymphocytes. The lymph from the popliteal lymph node was collected by the catheter, and changes of the number of lymphocytes in the efferent lymphatic from lymph node under lymphogenous administration of antigen were investigated. As the results, the following facts were obtained that in early stage after lymphogenous stimulation of the antigen, the lymphocytes of the lymphatic matrix of the node migrated directly into venous blood stream, and lymphocytes released through the efferent lymphatic were few or decreased in number.View full abstractDownload PDF (351K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe background for the sprouting of the vessels and the interrelation between sprouting vessels and their stem vessels were studied in this paper. It is postulated that the plasma exudation seems to be the most important background for the sprouting of the vessels. Because sprouting of the vessels are initiated as a microvarix which may follow the proliferation of adventitial cells due to the plasma exudation.View full abstractDownload PDF (1411K)
