They are placed in a glass case, heated warmer than the animals body temperature. The heart pumps blood, as in life. The lungs expand and con- tract, “breathing” air fed to them through a tube. Occasionally fresh blood is injected into the system to replace what is lost. All the or- gans function just as in the living animal and to all intents and pur- poses are “alive,” Dr. Markowitz explains. It is known, he says, that insulin helps diabetic patients by increas- ing the amount of sugar that the muscles absorb from the blood. He has found that insulin still reduces the amount of sugar in the blood when there are no muscles present| to absorh 1f, Dr. J. Markowitz, professor of physiology, is performing a series of these experiments in an effort to discover how drugs affect the vital organs when body tissues are not present to complicate matters. Tt is difficult to study the effects of drugs on the organs alone in a living animal, because the muscles and other body tissues affect the organs’ reaction, he says.
