In this short-term study, comparably lean beef and chicken had similar effects on plasma levels of total, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride. We concluded that lean beef and chicken are interchangeable in the Step I Diet.
A survey of the sex-chromatin pattern in 1,252 males with mental deficiency revealed 10 apparent males with positive sex-chromatin patterns and with IQs ranging from 22 to 66. Nine of these are postpubertal and have findings characteristic of Klinefelter's syndrome. One patient is prepubertal and sexually immature. One of the patients has a few features suggesting mongolism. One patient is a twin; the other twin died at birth. He has an older halfbrother who has mongolism. Another patient has twin siblings, one of whom has mongolism.
Recent reports of similar surveys confirm that about 1% of mentally deficient males have Klinefelter's syndrome. However, our data indicate the incidence is lower than that among the severely retarded and rises two- or threefold above that among the mildly retarded. The best control data indicate the incidence in the general population is about 0.2% or less. On the basis of these data, it appears that Klinefelter's syndrome with positive sex-chromatin pattern is likely to be associated with some degree of mental deficiency. The relation of the brain disorder to the anomalous sex-chromatin pattern is unknown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
