[Comparative radioligand analysis of gene-engineered and human hypophyseal somatotropic hormones].

Somatogen, a human somatotropic hormone (HSH) prepared with the use of gene engineering (genHSH) does not differ from the highly purified substance of hypophysial hormone (hypHSH) in affinity to the antibodies produced on hypHSH and to the membrane receptor of the rabbit liver. 50 per cent inhibition of 125I hypHSH binding to the antibodies was observed at somatogen concentration of 8.2 ng/ml and hypHSH concentration of 7.

[Effect of vegetable polyphenols on the level of glycogen in the tissues and glucose in the blood of starving rabbits].

The paper deals with the effect of galascorbin and polyphenol preparations obtained from oats and birch buds on the content of glycogen in the tissues and that of glucose in the blood of fasting rabbits. It is shown that introduction of P-vitamin preparations under study into the organism of fasting animals favours the preservation of glycogen content in the liver, skeletal and heart muscles. The level of glucose preserved in blood with administration of galascorbin and polyphenol preparations from oats and birch buds was 27, 36 and 34% of the control, respectively.
