Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed guide to using a physiological method for measuring and standardizing the potency of pituitary extracts. The author provides an overview of the physiological actions of the extract, discussing its effects on blood pressure and uterine contractions. The author describes a method for testing the activity of the extract on the isolated uterus of the guinea pig, considering the choice of a standard, such as histamine or potassium chloride, for comparison. The author concludes that the isolated uterus method is the most accurate for quantitative comparisons with a standard, providing a detailed description of the apparatus, solutions, and procedure for carrying out the test. The book emphasizes the importance of establishing a common standard for ensuring the proper dosage of pituitary extracts in therapeutic use and facilitating research on the extract's physiological effects.
