title: Recent progress in whole-body radioautography.
abstract: We review whole-body radioautography for water-soluble substances and its applications studied to date in our laboratory. To transfer the whole-body section onto a glass slide, Japanese paper was inserted between frozen block and adhesive tape before sectioning. Then the section was dried together with the paper and adhesive tape in a cryotome and applied onto the glass slide coated with a mixture of egg-albumin and glycerin. The whole-body section was transferred to slide and contacted with the film in vacuum. By using these techniques, we review the glucose and taurine metabolism, the glucose-6-phosphatase activity and the insulin receptor.
