Universality among animals

The approaches taken to find new insecticides include a tendency not to consider sites of action that are universal among animals. This bias against universal sites has been expressed more than once, and it is somewhat naive - my second point. There are too many examples of highly selective compounds even among cholinesterase inhibitors that would argue otherwise. To find selective and acceptable candidates for development as insecticides, one needs to find activity first, preferably potent activity and design selectivity into the final chemical structure. 

In view of the universal role of the area postrema (AP) in emesis among animal species, including man [54], an analysis of this structure in terms of receptors, neurotransmitters and neurophysiological responses is indicated. The AP has also been implicated in several other functions (cardiovascular, caloric intake, osmotic water balance) unrelated to emesis [55], The reader is referred to general and comprehensive references on this neuronal structure [36, 37, 56],... 

The opinion, until recently universal among toxicologists, that all Uie compounds of copper are poisonous, has been much modified by recent researches. Certain of the copper compounds, such as the sulphate, having a tendency to combine with albuminoid and other animal substances, pi uce symptoms of irritation by their direct local action, when brought in contact with the gastric or intestinal mucous membrane. One of the characteristic symptoms of such irritation is the vomiting of a greenisli matter, which develops a blue color upon the addition of NH HO.

The compositional variation of samples of wet DG received from a number of different corn dry mill ethanol plants is given in Table 1. Two of the entries show the variation between samples of wet DG removed from the production line centrifuge of a dry-grind ethanol plant several months apart. The crude protein content was found to vary among the different plants from 31.2 to 35.2%. These results can be compared with those of a study of six Minnesota dry-grind ethanol plants conducted by the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minnesota that found crude protein content of DDG and DDGS from these plants ranging from 28.7 to 31.6 % (4). This variation is of some concern to animal feedlot operators. 

UNIVERSAL MEDICINE — Substances which contribute to the prolongation of life. The best among these are quintessences, extracted from animals, minerals, and vegetables. The perfection of these quintessences consists in their preparation. So much does this vary that it would sometimes seem almost impossible that these essences are extracted from one and the same principle.
