Human urine contains "retine." Its partial isolation is described.
Two substances, one promoting growth (promine) of ascites tumors in mice and the other inhibiting it (retine) have both been found in several tissues, namely, thymus, aorta, muscle, and tendon. In spite of similar solubilities in the solvents used for their extraction, the substances could be roughly separated. The value of the ratio between these substances in the same tissue may be significant.

Lipid granules have been found in the cytoplasm of odontoblasts and in the odontoblastic extensions within the dentinal tubules. It is suggested that these granules represent specific activity on the part of the normal cell as well as an increase in number after injury. While they are not limited to occurrence within the vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the odontoblasts, the relationship of the granules to the vacuoles suggests that the vacuoles are also a part of the physiologic activity of the adult odontoblasts.
