## Abstract The changes of adrenaline during development were studied in several regions of rat brain. Adrenaline is present in hypothalamus, medulla oblongataβpons, midbrain, and cerebellum. Adult levels are attained between 15 and 30 days, depending on the region. These adult levels are attained
To develop transgenic mice, a mouse metallothionein promoter-human growth hormone (Mt-hGH) gene fragment was injected into the pronucleus of C57BI X DBN2J F, onecell embryos. Six founder animals grew larger (I 3-2.2 times) than littermate controls and had higher levels of hGH in plasma (4.6279 mUII)
The response of trace metals to host liver in tumor-bearing mice was studied based on the data that an increase of hepatic zinc metallothionein (Zn-MT) was correlated with tumor growth rates. Zn concentration and 65 Zn uptake in liver, unlike pancreas, were elevated 9 days after tumor transplantatio
