GONADOTROPIC AND ESTROGENIC PRINCIPLES IN A MYOMA OF THE UTERUS

摘要: In a paper recently published we described fibro-adenoma of the breast which, when assayed, yielded relatively great amount estrogenic principle. Because this finding were prompted to assay uterine fibroid determine whether principle, follicle-stimulating factor and luteinizing principle might be found in type tumor. A hysteromyomectomy was performed on patient whose history will given later. The fibroids removed, care being exercised that no mucous membrane included material forwarded Dr. J. H. Morrell E. R. Squibb Sons Laboratory for bio-assay. reported tissue contained 4½ rat units factors per gram desiccated tissue. extract gave both effects. This tested by same technicians who are standardizing preparation
