Abstract
Summary
It has been found that the addition of leucogenenol to a medium in which lymphoblastoid or leukemic cells of mice are growing increases the respiratory quotient and the rate of replication of the cells. It would appear therefore that leucogenenol's known activity in the animal is due to a direct action of leucogenenol on the blood cells.
The fact that leucogenenol is normally present in liver tissue suggests that leucogenenol plays a role in the normal growth and regulation of blood cells in the body.
