...patient quickly to interpenetrate them. In earlier operations Voronoff had failures because the transplanted portions were too thick and died before they could knit up with the human glands. Within a few weeks the new tissue becomes continuous with the old, and its hormones begin their beneficial flow. Blood pressure diminishes, sight improves, metabolism is intensified, muscles regain their spring, and new hair grows. Voronoff told the surgeons that a great park is being constructed in Africa under French auspices for the breeding of chimpanzees and other apes and monkeys. The supply of animal glands is too limited at present...
...material is transplanted. He discovered that if the reproductive function of the gonads is stopped by removing part of their duct (called the "vas deferens"), or even by tying it off, the reproductive cells atrophy and the interstitial cells multiply and occupy the space, greatly increasing the flow of the hormones. The effect is to turn the gonad into an exclusively ductless gland. The same general results are produced as in the case of transplantation. Steinach himself makes no extravagant claims. He calls the effect " arrest within modest limits of the process of senility," and says...
Fifty-six were lost in the English Channel, 26 in the North Sea, 16 in the Mediterranean, 16 on the East Coast of England, 12 on the Dutch coast, 3 near Heligoland, 2 in Scapa Flow, and the remainder scattered throughout the world's oceans...
Pavloff's name is best known to the Western world for his classic demonstration of the neurological basis of the digestive process in dogs. A normal animal, if hungry, shows increased flow of saliva and the digestive juices at the sight or smell of food. By a simple surgical operation, Pavloff brought the duct of a dog's salivary gland to the surface of the cheek and measured the flow under stimulus of food. At regular feeding times a bell was rung, and after several repetitions it was found that the sound of the bell alone, without food...
...another brilliant experiment, following the investigations of von Bischoff and Heidenhain, Pavloff was able to produce a fistula, or tube, connecting the stomach of a dog with the surface, keeping the animal free from pain and under the most normal conditions possible. By this means he studied the flow of the gastric and pancreatic juices under varying conditions, proving that the secretions vary in quantity, rate and digestive power with the nature of the food...
