RESUMO
The binding characteristics of Thyroxine Binding Globulin(TBG) Pre-albumin (TBPA) and Transcortin in Jamaicans were found to be similar to those described elsewhere. The previously reported diminution in adrenocortical and thyroidal function associated with normal plasma cortisol and thyroxine levels cannot therefore be ascribed to an increase in the plasma protein binding of these hormones (AU)

Dietary protein depletion causes a significant incidence of resorption in pregnant rats when compared to rats fed a complete diet. Histologically, this resorption consists of an extravasation of blood into the implantation crypt on day 9, dilating the crypt and causing necrosis and sloughing of the embryo and decidua. Embryonic death and fragmentation appears subsequent to the appearance of blood and debris in the crypt on day 9 1/2 (AU)
