The Effect Of Adrenal Steroid Hormones On The Protein Content Of Tumorous Livers, Duncan W. Martin May 1956

The Effect Of Adrenal Steroid Hormones On The Protein Content Of Tumorous Livers, Duncan W. Martin

Biology ETDs

Protein is basic to the structure and function of protoplasm. Enzyme systems which regulate the rate of cellular reactions are primarily composed of protein and many of these enzymatic systems influence the metabolism of less specialized proteins that form the major structural material of protoplasm. It is believed that experimental procedures which modify protein composition of cells may also influence the activity of intra-cellular enzymes. In experimental live cancer, it has been shown that the activities of a number of oxidative enzymes are modified as the carcinogenic process proceeds (Richmond, 1955, p.38). Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that endocrine function …


A Study Of The Effect Of Three Nutrients On The Growth Of Tomatoes, Walter B. Stone May 1956

A Study Of The Effect Of Three Nutrients On The Growth Of Tomatoes, Walter B. Stone

Biology ETDs

Studies of the various phases of plant growth are becoming more and more important to plant physiologists. Many such studies have been conducted for economic reasons to obtain increased production. In this investigation, fruit production and quality have been considered important, but have been placed second in interest to the effect certain nutrients may have on plant development during growth.

Most experiments of this type have been concerned with nutrient deficiencies. The writer has attempted in this experiment to use nutrient elements in excess and observe the effects produced during progressive phases of plant growth. Single elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, and …
