The University of Virginia has received an
appropriation of $15,000 for researches in endocrinology
under the direction of Dr. S. W. Britton
of the Department of Physiology during the
three-year period beginning January 1, 1936.
Dr. Britton and hisco-workers are devoting the
energies of the department in the next three
years to a study of adrenal functions, with particular
reference to the preparation of cortical
extracts; to studies of the interrelationships of
the adrenal and sex glands; and to observations
on carbohydrate metabolism and salt and water
balance in relation to cortico-adrenal functions.
In addition to the ordinary laboratory animals,
two very important ancient forms, the opossum
and the marmot, will be used in this study.
