      To facilitate editorial processing, the following points with regard to the preparation of manuscript should be noted.

1. Manuscripts of any length are admissible. Manuscripts must be typewritten and double-spaced with margins on one side of good quality paper. Pages should be numbered in lower right-hand corner. Authors may be requested to retype manuscripts that are difficult to read.
   
2. The manuscripts should be arranged in the following order: title page, abstract, key words, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, references, tables, figure legends, and illustrations (line-drawings, graphs and halftones).
   
3. The title page should contain the complete article title, a running page headline not to exceed 50 characters, the name of Institute where the work was done, the present postal address if different from that of the Institute.
   
4. References cited in the text should be by Arabic numericals in parenthesis and not by the names of the authors. The references list should be in alphabetical order and numbered consecutively. The style of citation should be as follows:
   Journal Articles. Last name of first author, followed by initials; last names of each coauthor followed by initials, title of article (first word only capitalized); name of journal (abbreviated as in Index Medicus, published by the
   National Library of Medicine, USA), volume, inclusive pages, and year. Examples:
   
   1. D. Childers, R.W., Merideth, J. and Moe, G.K. Supernormality in Bachmann's bundle: an in vivo and in vitro study. Circ. Res. 22:363-370,1968.
   2. Chen, H.I., Shih, W.J. and Chen, T.P. A scientiphotographic study of pulmonary edema and hemorrhage induced by cerebral compression and norepinephrine. Chin. J. Physiol. 22:65-73, 1976.
      Book References. Author(s) as above; title of book (main words capitalized); city of publication; publisher; year and pages. Examples:
   3. Parmley, W.W. and Tyberg, J.V. Determinants of myocardial oxygen demand. In: Progress in Cardiology, edited by Yu, P.N. and Goodwin, J.F. Philadelphia, PA: Lea & Febiger, 1976, vol. 5, pp. 19-36.
   4. Winer, B.J. Statistical Principles in Experimental Design. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 1971.
      Abstracts. An abstract properly identified (Abstract) may be cited only when it is the sole source. Examples:
   5. Turkenkopf, 1., Olsen, J. and Johnson, P.R. Hepatic lipogenic enzyme activity in the preobese Zucker rat (fafa) (Abstract). Federation Proc. 38:547,1979.
   6. Chang, J.P., Morgan, R.O. and Catt, K.J. Inositol phosphates, diacyiglycerol, and arachidonic acid in GnRH action (Abstract 48). The 1st International Congress of Neuroendocrinology, San Francisco, USA, 1986,
      p. 35.
5. Abbreviations and symbols for units of measurement should conform to international recommendation.
   
6. Tables should be typed on separate sheets, be numbered in Arabic numerals and be accompanied by adequate headings. Explanatory matter should appear in foot notes that are identified by superscript letters or asterisks.
   Their appropriate position in the text should be indicated by a note in the margin.
   
7. Figures should be printed on glossy paper, be large enough for reproduction and be identified in pencil on the reverse side. Figure legends should be typed separately.
   
8. Halftones (Photographs) must be in black and white and large enough for reproduction.
   
9. Color plates are at the expense of the author.
   
10. Manuscripts submitted as Short Communications should be concise and contain short technical notes, or preliminary experimental results. They should not exceed a total of five printed pages and not include more than three illustrations. The abstract for a Short Communication should not exceed 200 words. The editors reserve the right to decide what constitutes a Short Communication. Review Articles are published usually upon invitation to outstanding scientists on special topics.
    
11. There is no page charge for papers. Fifty reprints of papers accepted for publication will be sent to authors free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered.
