TAYLOR GIVES TALK
Prof. William Randolph Taylor of
the botany department read a paper
on "Biological Aspects of the Gala-
pagos Islands" dt a meeting of the
Botanical Seminar yesterday after-
noon in the Natural Science Bldg.
Professor Taylor supplemented his
talk with slides obtained on a recent
trip to the Galapagos.
The thyroid gland, when deranged,
may be either overactive or underac-
tive. An overactivity of the gland re-
sults in a speeding up of all the
building up and breaking down pro-
cesses which are going on in the body.
In other words, the metabolism is in-
creased. With such conditions we. get
loss of weight, accompanied by an
increased appetite, nervousness, a
rapid heart rate; in fact, all the symp-
toms of overactivity of body processes.
Exactly the reverse is true when the
thyroid is functioning below normal.
Then we see a patient who is slug-
gish, with a slow pulse rate, over-
weight, with a tendency to gain weight
easily, and often retardation of the
mental processes.
We are able to measure the meta-
bolic rate and thus have a definite'
yardstick for determining thyroid ac-
tivity. In the case of lowered thyroid
secretion medical science is able to
supplement by thyroid preparations.
Consequently handling cases of this
kind is most interesting since definite
ielief is afforded, the report con-
cludes.
