Adrenal research spans Virginia team and Rockefeller grant
Virginia scientists from the university reported isolating adrenal extract effects on rats and humans, run on a treadmill for 16 to 18 hours with no fatigue. The team, led by Dr. Britton, received $15 000 from the Rockefeller Foundation to pursue crystalline isolation and synthesis for medical uses including rapid recovery from operations and Addison's disease treatment. A separate note from Washington covers Eugene Vidal piloting a new mass production plane reached after a St Louis to Washington flight.
