Meyerhof's principal work. One of the pioneers of modern biochemistry, Meyerhof shared the 1922 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology (with Archibald Vivian Hill) for his discovery of the fixed relationship between the consumption of oxygen and the metabolism of lactic acid in muscle. He received his MD from Heidelberg in 1909, his dissertation being in psychiatry. Under the influence of Otto Warburg he turned to physiology and physical chemistry. In 1912 he went to Kiel. Lectures delivered in England & the USA appeared as a book in 1924, The Chemical Dynamics of Living Matter, which helped make him widely known (and which is GM 748). By 1929 he was head of the Department of Physiology in the Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg. Forced to leave Germany in 1938, he continued his work at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique in Paris. Escaping with his wife to the USA in 1940, he was appointed research professor at the Department of Physiological Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania.

Signed on the flyleaf "A. Hemingway [from the library of Prof. Starling]. 1927." A nice, albeit somewhat mediated association. Jodrell Professor of Physiology at the University of London, Ernest Henry Starling (1866-1927) also did important work on circulatory physiology. In his 1909 book The Fluids of the Body "Starling put forward the idea that renal excretion of salt (and water) was conditioned by the volume of body fluids, particularly the blood volume. He suggested that the sum total of body fluids was arranged so that the blood supply to the brain was maintained at a point just equal to its need" [GM-5 #1236.2]. Starling coined the term "hormone" in 1906. Inquire | Order $85.00
