If you want not only to write but to write well, this book is for you. This second edition takes into account new developments in the area of scientific communication.

  The metabolic status of rat skeletal muscle was examined after 5 h of unilateral ischemia of one hind leg and following 5 h of recirculation. There was no recovery, neither with nor without aprotinin (Trasylol) in different doses (35 000 and 125 000 KIE/kg b.w.). After 3 h of ischemia and 3 h of recirculation a significant recovery of the metabolic status occurred in animals without and with 35 000 KIE aprotinin/kg b.w. After injection of 125 000 KIE aprotinin the restoration of the metabolic status was significantly retarded. The metabolic situation of the contralateral, non-ischemic legs revealed--in comparison to normal levels--a significant deterioration in the latter group.
