Science Making Headway in Artery 'Hardening1 Study By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Ediior New York (U.R) Although progress is slow, science defi nitely is making headway in its search for ways of preventing human arteries from "harden ing" and stopping the "harden ing" process once it has started. Take the experiments of a doctor of philosophy in chemis try and a doctor of veterinary medicine with flocks of white Leghorn cockerels and with sev eral chemical and non-potable forms of alcohol. One of the alcohols was cho lesterol, which the animal body extracts from its food but also manufactures on its own and in some bodies ,collects in crystal line form inside arteries. This "hardens" the arteries and sets the stage for heart attacks and for the mental debilities of old age. Another alcohol was of the same chemical class but a prod uct of the soybean in its germ ination, growth and maturing. The third alcohol was the result of a chemist's manipulations in his laboratory. It was a salt of an ester, or compound, of an alcohol. Four Flock 0"r scientists, Thomas B. Clarkson, D.V.M., J . Stanton King Jr.. Ph. D.,. and Nelta Hy der Warnock, B.S., of Bristol, Tenn., quite aware that these alcohols somehow react upon one another, divided their white cockerels into four flocks. All were fed on the same mash to which cholesterol had been added. But the soy bean alcohol was added to the mash of flock number two, the man-made al cohol was added to that of flock number three, and both the soy r bean and man-made substances were added to the mash of flock number four. - As was to be expected, the circulating cholesterol in the blood streams of all four flocks shot up. That of the- cholesterol- only flock went the highest. That of the flock which got both cho lesterol and the man-made al cohol was second highest. And that of the flock which got both soybean and man-made alcohols was the lowest. The conclusion is dramatic but not explained. Somehow the man-made alcohol enhanced the chemical ability of the soy bean alcohol to hold down circulating cholesterol. When the scientists analyzed the main heart arteries of their cockerels for deposited cholesterol content, they got the same : results but even more strikingly:' -.-. 1 '.. T" Meanwhile, an experimental wav of lowering cholesterol con tent of circulating human blood and holding steady at the low ered levels was made available for a limited number of physi cians through the Vascular Re search Foundation of 815 Park Avenue, New York. It is a com pound of vitamins and thyroid hormone and still is not on the market and so is not to be had merely by prescription. This way is based on the pre mise that artery-hardening de pends basically upon body cells which have lost the knack of dealing with oxygen efficiently. A . correct balance of vitamins and hormone is said to restore the knack. Thursday, February 2, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRI3UOT KIKB Wished He'd Heeded Judge Who Knew Best ' Tavares, Fla. (UP.)
