“…The defect in clearing in alloxan-diabetic rats could also be corrected by feeding of Lipormone, a purified preparation of lipocaic of Dragstedt. 35 At present it is not possible to state whether the two substances are identical. However, since it has been observed in this laboratory that destruction of acinous tissues of the pancreas did not reduce the clearing activity of postheparin plasma, 36 the islets seem to be the source of this factor.…”

“…In later years, Lombroso's observations were extended, and, since 1924, it has been known that the development of fatty livers in insulin-treated depancreatized dogs can be prevented by the administration of raw pancreas. When it was recognized that the activity of pancreas fractions upon the liver could not be accounted for by their choline and methionine content, an antifatty liver factor was postulated and called "lipocaic" by Dragstedt et al (22,23) and anti-fatty liver factor (AFL) by Chaikoff and Entenman (16). The presence of such a lipotropic pancreatic factor has been debated for more than 50 years.…”

The present report commemorates the persecution of five renowned Italian physiologists of Jewish descent that lost their chairs in medical schools because of the anti-semitic policies of the fascist regime. In 1938, Mussolini promulgated the Racial Laws, officially with the aim of safeguarding the purity of the Italian race in conquered African colonies. However, their true intent was to persecute the Italian Jewish community in agreement with the policy of Nazi Germany. In accordance with the Racial Laws, all non-Aryans were banished from professional activities and were evicted from public, social, and academic life. As a result, 98 full professors in Italian universities were removed from their academic positions. In medical schools, physiology, more than other discipline, lost the most prominent faculty members. Of the 17 full Professors of Human Physiology, five were of Jewish descent, and all were evicted: they were Camillo Artom from Palermo, Mario Camis from Bologna, Carlo Foà from Milan, Amedeo Herlitzka from Turin, and Ugo Lombroso from Genoa. All were talented and famous scientists who were forced to leave Italy and take refuge in foreign countries. At the end of World War II, Camis, Foà, Herlitzka, and Lombroso returned to Italy and resumed their previous academic positions, whereas Artom remained in the United States. Unfortunately, Camis died later that year. During the postwar period, some of the fascists responsible for the Jewish persecution were killed or committed suicide while the survivors were imprisoned and prosecuted. However, all were soon released and resumed their former positions.
