The greatest single problem facing manking is the rapid popu- lation growth. This Symposium, as reproduced in this text, con- sidered the many consequences of the explosion along with possible means of regulation. It is the hope of the Planning Committee that this will not be just another Symposium where much was discussed and then was soon forgotten. Rather, we hope that an awareness has been created and will be maintained, and, most important, that positive action will be taken now - while time, albeit limited, is still available. Irene B.

  • Vitamins and Minerals: a Brief Guide
    Vitamins and minerals: a brief guide A Sight and Life publication Vitamins and minerals: a brief guide Vitamins are organic nutrients that are essential for life. Our bodies need vitamins to function properly. We cannot produce most vitamins ourselves, at least not in sufficient quantities to meet our needs. Therefore, they have to be obtained through the food we eat. What are vitamins A mineral is an element that originates in the Earth and always retains its chemical identity. Minerals occur as inorganic crystalline salts. Once minerals enter the body, they remain there until and minerals? excreted. They cannot be changed into anything else. Minerals cannot be destroyed by heat, air, acid, or mixing. Compared to other nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fat, vitamins and minerals are present in food in tiny quantities. This is why vitamins and minerals are called micronutrients, because we consume them only in small amounts. Each of the vitamins and minerals known today has specific functions in the body, which makes them unique and irreplaceable. No single food contains the full range of vitamins and minerals, and inadequate nutrient intake results in deficiencies. A variety of foods is therefore vital to meet the body’s vitamin and mineral requirements. Of the known vitamins, four are fat-soluble. This means that fat or oil must be consumed for the vitamins to be absorbed by the body. These fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K. The others are water-soluble: these are vitamin C and the B-complex, consisting of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline.

    Some Selenium Responses in the Rat not Related to Vitamin E 1,2,3 KIM E. M. McCOY a n d PAUL H. WESWIG Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon ABSTRACT Rats fed a low selenium ration containing Torula yeast with adequate vitamin E grew and reproduced normally. Their offspring were almost hairless, grew more slowly and failed to reproduce. Supplemental di-methionine, sodium sulfate, or increased dosage of vitamins was without effect. Supplementing with 0.1 ppm selenium as sodium selenite restored haircoat, growth, and reproductive capabilities. Some usual biochemical tests for selenium or vitamin E deficiency status, or both, were incon­ clusive when compared with rats fed normal rations. Rats fed low selenium corn protein also had sparse hair and poor growth in the second generation. A low selenium ration from ewe muscle, however, supported rats for three generations without any abnormalities. The essentiality of selenium (Se) as a prevent WMD in the next generation.

The essential role of and placental selenium carryover in dogs selenium may be due to its analogue re­ using radiotracers. Recent evidence by placement of sulfur in naturally occurring Burk et al.

  • TREATMENT of EXPERIMENTAL DIETARY CIRRHOSIS of the LIVER in RATS* by PAUL GYORGY, M.D., A~M HARRY GOLDBLATT, M.D
    TREATMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL DIETARY CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER IN RATS* BY PAUL GYORGY, M.D., A~m HARRY GOLDBLATT, M.D. (From the Nutritional Service of the Department of Pediatrics and tk~ Gastrointestinal Section of the Medical Clinic, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and the Institute for Medic~ Research, Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, Los Angdes) PLA~ 3 (Received for publication, February 26, 1949) Downloaded from http://rupress.org/jem/article-pdf/90/1/73/1184210/73.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 Diffuse hepatic fibrosis is a regular occurrence in rats kept for a prolonged period (100 to 150 days) on a diet low in lipotropic factors (1). Cystine and, among the fats, lard, and especially cod liver oil, have an enhancing effect on the production of hepatic cirrhosis (2). Conversely, rations rich in lipotropic factors (choline and its precursors, such as methionlne or, methionine-con- raining protein) free from cod liver oil and with a vegetable shortening re- placing lard may consistently prevent the development of diffuse hepatic fibrosis in rats (2). In general, dietary factors which assure prevention of a pathologic condition may not necessarily be beneficial in its treatment. Regarding cirrhosis, pre- vention is synonymous with the maintenance of normal architecture and function of the liver. In contrast, therapeutic factors have to exert their influence on a pathologically changed liver exhibiting various degrees of pa- renchymatous lesions (fat infiltration, necrosis, etc.) and of fibrosis. Further- more, long standing experimental dietary cirrhosis is often associated in rats with secondary, but independent, pathologic changes involving parts of the endocrine apparatus, especially the gonads, and their secretion (3).
