Bernardo Alberto Houssay
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre.
Bernardo A. Houssay (1887-1971), nació en Buenos Aires Argentina y fue médico y fisiólogo. Gracias al trabajo de Houssay la fisiología fue la disciplina médica que mayor vigor y desarrollo tuvo en la Argentina
Descendiente de franceses, fue un joven prodigio: cursó los estudios primarios en 2 años, fue bachiller a los 13, se graduó de farmacéutico, a los 17 y de médico a los 23, dos años después de comenzar la docencia en la Universidad de Buenos Aires
Houssay se convirtió en un maestro universitario de inigualable prestigio y en un importante investigador.
Desde y durante 26 años, fue director del Instituto de Fisiología en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, donde empezó su labor de enseñanza a sus discípulos, que luego se transformarían en los primeros profesores universitarios de fisiología del país. De esta manera el Instituto se convirtió en un centro de excelencia mundial en el área de la investigación científica. En , publicó un tratado de fisiología humana conocido como La Fisiología de Houssay , que sería traducido a los principales idiomas.

Argentine physiologist who received (with Carl and Gerty Cori) the 1947 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the role played by pituitary hormones in regulating the amount of blood sugar (glucose) in animals.
Working with dogs that had been rendered diabetic by excision of the pancreas (1924-37), Houssay found that removal of the adenohypophysis (the anterior, or frontal, lobe of the pituitary body, located beneath the brain) greatly relieved the symptoms of the disease and made the animal unusually sensitive to insulin. He demonstrated that injection of pituitary extracts into normal animals induces diabetes by increasing the amount of sugar in the blood, indicating that the secretions of the gland oppose the action of insulin. Appointed professor of physiology (1910) and director of the physiological institute (1919) at the University of Buenos Aires, Houssay was one of 150 Argentine educators dismissed from their posts by the 1943 military coup of Gen. Juan Peron. Although he was reinstated in 1945, he was asked to submit his resignation a year later. He founded (1944) and directed (from 1946) the Institute of Biology and Experimental Medicine, Buenos Aires, a leading physiological research centre. His best known book is Human Physiology (1951).

Bernardo Alberto Houssay was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on April 10, 1887, one of the eight children of Dr. Albert and Clara ( University of Buenos Aires at the exceptionally early age of 14, graduating in 1904. He had already begun studying medicine and, in 1907, before completing his studies, he took up a post in the Department of Physiology. He began here his research on the hypophysis which resulted in his M.D.-thesis (1911), a thesis which earned him a University prize.
where he still remains as Director. In 1955 a new Government reinstated him in the University.
He has worked in almost every field of physiology, having a special interest in the endocrine glands. He has made a lifelong study of the hypophysis and his most important discovery concerns the role of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis in carbohydrate metabolism and the onset of diabetes. He has worked on many other topics in physiology and pharmacology, including the physiology of circulation and respiration, the processes of immunity, the nervous system, digestion, and snake and spider venoms.
Apart from his research, he has been active in promoting the advancement of university and medical education, and of scientific research, in Argentina.

Biography: Bernardo Alberto Houssay was one of the most prominent and influential Latin American Scientists of the twentieth century. His total dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and his untiring efforts to foster scientific and technical training among his compatriots received worldwide recognition. For more than twenty-five years his Institute of Physiology at the University of Buenos Aires was the scientific beacon for all of Latin America, and from its laboratories emerged disciples who were to occupy prominent positions in scientific research and training throughout the continent.

Bernardo Alberto Houssay – Nobel Lecture
Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1947
The role of the hypophysis in carbohydrate metabolism and in diabetes
The nutritive substances used in greatest quantities by mammals are carbohydrates. - These are ingested with the food or produced by the liver, and after being converted into glucose they are utilized by all the cells of the organism, specially by the muscles, which constitute nearly half the mass of the body. Production and consumption of carbohydrates is so well regulated that there is a constant blood sugar level; any accidental increase or fall in blood sugar is rapidly compensated. The constancy of the blood sugar level is maintained by a complex physiological mechanism, a homeostatic mechanism of the same order as those which maintain the body temperature, the blood pressure or the heart rate at normal levels and control many other functions. The blood sugar level itself is an important factor in many chemical and physiological processes. The liver is the principal organ in the regulation of the blood sugar level. If the liver is removed there is a progressive hypoglycemia which ends in death. After hepatectomy it is not possible to provoke hyperglycemia, whatever the agent or procedure employed, whether the animal were diabetic or not before the liver was removed. Nor is it possible to produce any form of diabetes in hepatectomized animals. On the other hand, when there is hyperglycemia the liver diminishes or ceases the production of sugar, and stores it.
