Science Faculty Present Research Articles, Contribute to Journal Rosalie A.. Leutgoeb, Ph. D., of the Chemistry department, is presenting a research paper on April 19 before the Division of Bio-chemistry at the one hundred and thirteenth national ses sion of the American Chemical society, meeting in Chicago. Subject of the paper is the Prepara tion of Glucuronic Acid from Alpha- Methyl Glucoside. Glucuronic acid is the main detoxicating substance in the animal body and therefore is of great biological importance. It is also one of several rare sugar compounds. Dr. Leutgoeb's research was under taken to find a method by which the acid could be prepared in relatively large amounts by inexpensive methods. A Viennese who has studied abroad and who holds a Doctorate in chemistry from Marquette university, Dr. Leut goeb has been a member oi the Munde lein Faculty since 1946. Esther Wellington Squires, M.S., of the Biology department, has collab orated with her husband, Edward N. Squires, candidate for a Doctor of Phi losophy degree in chemistry at North western, on an article which will appear in the May issue of the Journal of Bac teriology. Entitled Steroid Effects Upon Bac terial Growth, the article is concerned with the cholesterol molecule, which is related to the D vitamins, the hormones of the adrenal cortex, and the gonads, and to the most carcinogenic substance known. The exact and specific functions of cholesterol in the body have not been illucidated, but, by studying the ac tion of bacteria upon cholesterol, pre dications can be made as to what spe cific part it may play.
