The submucosal glands in the rat nose are characterized by the presence of both neutral and acid glycoproteins, which are important constituents of nasal and tracheobronchial secretions. This study is an attempt to gain a better insight into the secretion of these two types of glycoproteins and its neural regulation. Radiobiochemical experiments show a higher sensitivity to methacholine of the nasal glandular region producing acid glycoproteins than the area secreting neutral glycoproteins. Radioligand receptor binding suggests that the binding parameters of the muscarinic receptors in these two areas are mutually different. Furthermore, rat nasal glandular muscarinic receptors appear to be different from those in smooth muscle of rat ileum.
and wealthy) evangelical churches in the country. Its beautiful edifice matched the respectability of its pastor. From this place Ockenga helped build an evangelical empire, consisting of a ceaseless series of revivals, the founding of new seminaries, magazines, conferences, and network organizations. His most prominent post was as the first president of the National Association of Evangelicals in .By putting the spotlight on this authoritative leader of American evangelicalism, Garth M. Rosell fulfils a promise to Ockenga's widow to write this biography. As professor of church history at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, which Ockenga served as its first president, Rosell knew his subject personally. This contact began in his childhood. Rosell's father was a close friend to Ockenga and a revival preacher. This sets the tone of admiration for this "Mr. Evangelical." Rosell used the voluminous collection of letters and , sermons that Ockenga left to this seminary. Though Rosell quotes extensively from these sources, this book mainly shows the public side of Ockenga. In a swirl of lectures, conferences, meetings, and appearances, we see here the activism of America's traditional Christians, who joined hands in reclaiming their place in the culture.This research does not lead to a new interpretation of the wave of religious excitement in the s. It brings, however, a valuable insight in the formative process of the rise of post-war evangelicalism, namely the eagerness with which these traditional Protestants waited on this revival to break out. This becomes peculiarly clear on page . In the preceding pages Rosell has summarized the revivals of the mid-eighteenth century under Jonathan Edwards and John Wesley. And then the story jumps two centuries to the figure of Ockenga overseeing a crowd in Boston in and concluding that it has happened again. This jump in time is both the strength and the weakness of the book.Its strength is that it makes abundantly clear how deeply rooted revivalism was in the American religious psyche. The first half of the book revisits the growing anticipation of a revival. It was almost inevitable that a new outburst of this religious energy had to happen if the supporters of this event only would get together. The book shows how widespread and strong this expectation was.
