Page 369 - Certain pigments, on the other hand, are excreted exclusively by the tubercles. It is probable, though not proved, that similar conditions exist in mammals. There is no conclusive evidence that urea is secreted differently from the salts. 2. As stated, the tubular epithelium can secrete all the urinary constituents in the frog. It is highly probable that it secretes pigments in mammals. It is proved that it secretes sugar under the influence of phloridzin, and doubtless...
Page 66 - Should these cutaneous complications occur nevertheless, the sun baths must be omitted for a time and the skin bathed in warm water, and friction with lemon juice applied.

Page 369 - Filtration, however, can not explain the composition of the urine. 4. It is probable, though not proved, that glomerular urine may, at times, have a much lower concentration than the plasma The formation of such a fluid would probably require more than the ordinary filtration pressure — in other words, would be a secretory process. 5.
