The experiment reported here shows that mesovarian leiomyomas may be induced in rats by the administration of 2 chemically distinct adrenergic stimulants, salbutamol or terbutaline. That the induction of these benign tumours is a function of adrenergic stimulation is shown by the fact that the concurrent administration of the adrenergic blocker propranolol prevented their development.
A horizontal electrophoresis method using a discontinuous polyacrylamide gel to identify haptoglobin polymorphs is described. Improvements over the traditional vertical gel method include less sample required, easy gel preparation, and shortened run time. Additionally, vertical electrophoresis equipment, which can be technically challenging, is not needed. Caucasian, Black and Hispanic databases, each created from 100 autopsy blood samples from the New York City Medical Examiner's Office, are also presented.
