Effect of biguanide treatment in obese children.
In seven children of normal weight and in nine obese children (more than 30% overweight) from 8 to 14 years of age, blood glucose and insulin levels were estimated. The obese children were then treated with dimethylbiguanide (Metformin-HCl) during 3 months. After this period the tests were repeated. It is shown that a significant reduction of the insulin values, insulinogen indices and weight occurred after this treatment.

Evaluation of the Vitatron "AKES" modification for optimal use in routine enzyme analysis.
The Vitatron has been used as designed by the manufacturer under routine laboratory conditions (Broughton, P.M.G., Buttolph, M.A., Gowenlock, A.H., Neill, D.W. and Sleutelberg, R.G. (1969) J. Clin. Pathol. 22, 278). We assessed the possibilities of the AKES with regard to determination of the activities of three enzymes: alanine transaminase (AIT), aspartate transaminase (AsT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum. Precision, accuracy, carry over and sample-diluent contamination were evaluated. This resulted in recommendations for optimal use in terms of capacity and precision, which were supported by computations on a mathematical model for measuring results.
