In GK rats, a euglycaemic intrauterine environment cannot overcome the strong genetic predisposition to diabetes. However, in Wistar rats with a low genetic risk of diabetes, exposure to hyperglycaemia in utero significantly increases the risk of diabetes in adult life.

Body-worn video is increasingly relied upon in the criminal justice system, however it is unclear how viewing chest-mounted video may affect a police officer’s statement about an event. In the present study, we asked whether reviewing footage from an experienced event could shape an individual’s statement, and if so, whether reporting before reviewing may preserve an officer’s original experience. Student participants (n = 97) were equipped with chest-mounted cameras as they viewed a simulated theft in virtual reality. One week later, half of the participants recalled the event in an initial statement while the other half did not. Participants then viewed either their body-worn video or a control video. Finally, participants provided their statement (no initial statement condition) or were given the opportunity to amend their original account (initial statement condition). Results revealed that viewing body-worn video enhanced the completeness and accuracy of individuals’ free recall statements. However, whilst reviewing footage enabled individuals to exclude errors they had written in their initial statements, they also excluded true details that were uncorroborated by the camera footage (i.e., details which individuals experienced, but that their camera did not record). Such camera conformity is discussed in light of the debate on when an officer should access their body-worn video during an investigation and the influence of post-event information on memory.

We therefore conclude that there is no evidence for maternal transmission of diabetes in the GK rat. Mothers were able to adjust their supply of milk so that offspring attained similar weights independent of litter size. The weight of the offspring remained independent of litter size into adult life.

Bolliger and Whitten (1938) noticed that the urine of the common brushtail phalanger {Trichosurus vulpecula) usually contains reducing substances and gives a positive Bial reaction for pentose. These observations suggested an unusual carbohydrate metabolism in this marsupial and further studies of the urine and blood sugar of normal phalangers were, therefore, undertaken. In addition, alloxan was injected into a number of phalangers and the response to this diabetogenic compound compared with that obtained in higher mammals (Eutheria). METHODS.Blood was obtaineii from the marginal ear veins of fasting and non-fasting animals. After the injection of alloxan by the intravenous or intracardiac route blood specimens were obtained usually at 15, 30, 45, 60 or at 15, 37* and 60 minute intervals. Following these samples, hourly specimens were taken up to eight hours. The course of the ensuing diabetes was followed by daily and later by weekly readings of the blood sugar level. The sugar content of the blood was determined by the method of Somogyi (1945). Urine <;an easily be obtained by presaure on the bladder through the abdominal wall, but when handled the phalanger frequently urinates and spoiitaneonsly voided specimens can be collected. For the detection of reducing .substances Benedict's solution was employed and the urines were tested for pentOHe by Tauber's reaction (1937). The method of McRary and flattery (1945) was used for quantitative determination of substances reacting with orcinol usually assumed to be pentoses.A pure preparation of alloxan monahydrate (Kodak) was made up as an approximately
