Abstract
During the 68 years since it was founded, 548 publications have appeared from the Department of Physiology of the University of Cape Town, which has at different times included subdepartments of pharmacology and of medical biochemistry. The main fields of physiological research have been electrophysiology of the heart and of nerves, calcium metabolism (especially of teeth), endocrinology (especially of sex hormones), phonocardiography, bile secretion, exercise physiology (especially tests of physical fitness), measurement of obesity, renal physiology (especially membrane transport of sodium) and neurophysiology. Work continues in some of these fields.
