[The effect of mineral water on hormone secretion in patients following cholecystectomy]. / Vliianie mineral'noi vody na gormonal'nuiu sekretsiiu u bol'nykh posle kholetsistéktomii.

Hypersecretion of hydrocortisone, that of insulin, triiodothyronine, thyroxin reflecting phases of stress response and persistence were recorded in early and late postcholecystectomy terms, respectively. As intake of mineral water stimulates secretion of anabolic hormones (insulin, triiodothyronine and thyroxin) and inhibits secretion of catabolic hormone hydrocortisone, drinking of mineral water can be helpful in activation and adjustment of compensatory and adaptive responses after cholecystectomy.

[Immuno-chemical and physico-chemical properties of human prostatic beta-globulin]. / Immunokhimicheskie i fiziko-khimicheskie svoistva prostaticheskogo beta-globulina cheloveka.

Distribution of prostate beta-globulin in tissues was studied by means of rocket-linear immunoelectrophoresis. The concentration of protein, exceeding 0.1 microgram/ml, was detected only in prostate extracts, seminal plasma and prostatic fluid. Purification of human prostate beta-globulin and its main physico-chemical properties are described. The charge of the protein molecule was altered under influence of various factors. A minor carbohydrate component was detected in the prostate beta-globulin; the protein was found to interact noncovalently with heteropolysaccharides (heparin, dextran sulfate).
