(15) The presence of an inverse correlation between certain tryptophan metabolites, shown previously to be bladder carcinogens, and the N-nitrosamine content, especially after loading, was interpreted in view of the possible conversion of some tryptophan metabolites into N-nitrosamines either under endovesical conditions or during the execution of the colorimetric determination of these compounds.
(16) The data suggest that proinsulin, normally processed in secretory granules and released via the regulated pathway, may also be processed, albeit less efficiently, by the constitutive pathway conversion machinery.

Theorem
Definition:
(n.) That which is considered and established as a principle; hence, sometimes, a rule.
(n.) A statement of a principle to be demonstrated.
(v. t.) To formulate into a theorem.
Example Sentences:
