Fatty Diet, Smoking Cause Heart Disease, Prof Says
If Americans would stop smoking, get more exercise, watch their diets and reduce the amount of stress in their lives, fewer of them would die of heart disease, Duane G. Wenzel, professor and chairman of the department of pharmacology and toxicology in the School of Pharmacy, said Tuesday.
Wenzel has received a grant-in-aid from the Kansas Heart Association to study how heart diseases develop, how the methods of development interact, how suspected cells respond and how cells damaged the heart and blood vessels and much damage the agents could cause.
High-fat diets is a major reason why 54
per cent of Americans with heart diseases are dying, Wenzel said. He said an American's diet might contain 40 per cent fat.
Wenzel and his assistants are trying to determine the role of unsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats.
"I believe there are other foodstuffs, or drugs, that could be taken with these (unsaturated fats) to prevent injury," Wenzel said.
Wenzel has been researching the causes of diseases involving the heart and blood vessels.

"The question was, what does one do to attack problems of this magnitude?" he said. "There was no agreement of basic facts about things (that cause heart diseases)."
"I wasn't nervous as much as fighting myself to keep my concentration," he said. "When I lose concentration I pipe the ball, throw it down the middle and maybe give up four or five hits in a row, or else walk over everybody."
Eskimos, also have a high fat diet, he said, but they have a lower percentage of heart diseases because they use their muscles more than most Americans. They use fat for energy in America with lower fat consumption also have a lower percentage of heart disease.
Wenzel said that heart disease was possibly characterized by stress and other conditions that cause release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream.
MILWAUKEE (AP)—Hard-throwing Steve Bushy, in total command of his pitches but struggling with his concentration, hurled the second no-hitter of his short career and the first of the 1974 major league baseball season Wednesday night.
Fatty acids might not always be dangerous he said, because they form a major source of energy. This energy is used and it is not seen in quantities in the bloodstream.
if an increase in the amount of free fatty acid is released into the bloodstream and the pH (acid balance) is changed, thereby increasing the risk of an allergic bloodstream, a situation favorable to the
looking at alcohol as a potential cause of heart disease.
Mixing fast balls and sliders with a newly developed curve, the right-hander faced 28 batters, one over the minimum, as the Royals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1.
"I was much more aware of what was going on this time," said Busyu, who had pitched a 34-hitter against the Detroit Titans on April 27, 1973, in his 10th major league start.
developed an experimental system using the hearts of newborn rats, instead of using the whole animal, for their experiments. They have discovered how to separate two important types of cells and have perfected two methods of showing injury to the cells
Wenzel said he and his assistants
Because the cost of gasoline is rising, people are looking for inexpensive tran-
portation. The bicycle is one of the most inexpensive transportation, but even bicycle prices are high.
"This was the biggest thrill of all, bigger than last time, because this was my type of game. George Scott walked a perfect game (George Scott walked a 3-2 count leading off the second inning)."
If Americans would stop eating the saturated fat in French fries, hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods with a high amount of fat, it would be Wenzel said. Other people, such as the

development of heart disease may occur, Wenzel said.
The bicycles are kept for six months or longer before they are auctioned off. Because of storage problems there are auctions about twice a year, Harrell said. The proceeds go into the police pension fund.
"We make every attempt we can in finding the owner," said Lt. Vern Harrell, administration lieutenant. "If there's a license we check with the owner."
Wenzel said he had formed a hypothesis that combined use of nicotine and carbon monoxide from tobacco smoke lowered the acidity of the blood by releasing free fatty acids. He also noted that his hypothesis could explain why smoking may be one cause of heart disease. He is also
