TLDR
Changes in the size and biochemical composition (glycogen, total carbohydrate, neutral fat, phospholipids, protein and non-protein nitrogen) have been followed throughout the year in the ovary and both male and female hepatopancreas of Carcinus maenas.

Temporal Fluctuations of Fatty Acids in Pachygrapsus crassipes from Southern California

TL;DR: It is concluded that, while temperature may affect FA abundance and composition, other underlying factors, such as changes in day length, food availability, molting, mating and reproduction, may also influence FA abundances in P. crassipes from southern California.

Biochemical and enzymatic fluctuation during ovarian development of edible marine crab portunus pelagicus (linnaeus, 1758)

TL;DR: It is inferred that breeding of P. pelagicus mainly depends on nutritive condition and reserved organic constituents of the blood, which indicates that the biochemical components and enzymes are actively participated in gametogenesis.

Diagnosis or elucidation—two differing uses of physiology

TL;DR: The use of alternative procedures in physiological investigations in order to reveal environmental influences is equated with diagnostic procedures in medicine and the repeatability of short‐term measurements under an identified behavioural state is demonstrated.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Estimation of glycogen in small amounts of tissue

TL;DR: Evidence for the existence or formation of at least two water-insoluble glycogen complexes in liver was presented and losses of glycogen in the ethanol precipitation step were found to be preventable by the use of a coprecipitant.

Manometric techniques and related methods for the study of tissue metabolism.

TL;DR: This book has been designed to give the graduate JL student a working description of the methods used as a routine in the study of tissue metabolism and only methods which are likely to need the minimum equipment found normally in a biological laboratory such as a respirometer, colorimeter and centrifuge are described.
