Improvement in Nutritional Value of Peas by Cooking.

Abstract

or handling. All these factors must be considered before conclusions are drawn.Sunzmaify . When irradiated dogs developed severe thrombocytopenia and purpura, the thoracic duct was cannulated and output of red cells/minute counted to quantitate bleeding tendency. Fresh canine platelets disintegrated in a sonic oscillator and infused into the dogs increased prothrombin consumption towards the normal range, but had no effect on bleeding tendency. Intact platelets, however, had an immediate and dramatic effect on bleeding tendency. We conclude that a normal clotting system, including platelet factors, is not enough for normal hemostasis; the mechanical effect of intact platelets is also needed. Consequently, non-intact platelets or platelet substitutes may not be expected to improve the bleeding tendency in thrombocytopenia. -1. Zucker, M. B., A m .

Evidence for Chick Growth Inhibitors in Several Legume Seeds

“…12-14. p. 95-100. Recent studies at this laboratory showed that autoclaving peas improved their nutritional value for chicks and poults (Kienholz et al, 1959), showing that peas also contain a growth inhibitor. The utilization of corn oil, lard and tallow by chickens of various ages.…”
