A compound found naturally in
every cell of the body may reduce
heart muscle- damage following
coronary occlusion, said Dr. Carl
Jones, medical researcher in Texas
A&M University’s College of
Medicine.
Thirty to 35 percent of all deaths
in the United States are due to heart
attacks caused by coronary occlu
sion, he said. The compound in
osine may reduce this by 25 to 30
percent.'
Coronary occlusion is a condition
of the heart in which the heart ves
sels become deficient of blood and
oxygen. When this happens, the in
osine level increases.
“Inosine has two major effects on
heart muscle, Jones said. “It in
creases the pumping ability when
occlusion takes place. When the
heart’s pumping rate goes down, the
inosine levels increase and offset the
bad effects by making the heart
pump.
“Inosine also increases the blood
flow to the heart. It allows blood to
go through secondary channels to
reach the damaged heart. The
greater the heart damage, the

greater the inosine level increases.
“If we infuse inosine intrave
nously into the heart, we can reduce
the amount of damage further,” he
said.
“For years inosine wasn’t impor
tant,’’ Jones said. “It was thought to
be a normal waste product, but it
isn t; it’s a very useful product. In
osine protects the would-be dam
aged muscle.”
Jones said inosine can increase
blood flow to the heart after coro
nary occlusion, but no one yet can
define why inosine does this.
Jones’ research is not being
geared toward defining how and
why inosine is involved at the cellu
lar level.
Presently, inosine infusions are
used only on experimental animals
in the United States. The Food and
Drug Administration will not permit
inosine infusions on humans until
the effects can be defined properly.
However, Jones said, three years
ago the Soviet Union was using in
osine on humans as a routine mat
ter, and no bad effects have been
reported.
Jones has been researching the ef
fects of inosine for approximately six
years. He began his research in
Jackson, Miss., and continued at
Texas A&M University.
The National Institutes of Health
donated $90,000 and the Texas af
filiate of the American Heart Associ
ation donated $10,000 to the re
search .

Intramural softball teams
think up imaginative nam®
Coi
By BRENDA BROOKS
Have you ever heard of the Cone-
heads, the Natural Disaster or the
Six-Packs ? These are some names of
the 1978 intramural softball teams.
According to the Texas A&M
University Intramural Office, ap
proximately 612 softball teams
began competition Feb. 13. The
teams begin playing league games
and will move to play-offs.
A softball team may choose any
name as long as it is kept relatively
clean. If the name seems dirty, the
intramural office will ask them to
clean it up.
The Cipneheiids got their name
because t!ie\ act like coneheads
sStd'tetef'member Steve Puckett.
"It messes up the other team s con
centration when we act like cone-
heads, Puckett said. “It makes us
play better.
Natural Disaster is composed of
several guys who got together on
the spur of the moment and decided
to play, so the name seemed appro
priate.
The Six-Packs, said team member
Steve McDonald, got their name
because they drink a six-pack before
each game.
Murray Fulton, sponsored a con
test last November to Find a name
for the agricultural economics
softball team. A secretary in the de
partment suggested the name Cow
Pies for the men s team and Cow
Patties for the girl’s team, and won
the contest.
The Crispy Critters,got their
name because team member Vicki
Deck was joking with manager
Carlo Corso. She told him if he
stayed in the sun "he woidd get
burnt like a crispy critter. The
team decided to keep Crispy Crit
ters as their permanent name.
Aston Hall has a team called the
Aston Leftovers. Tho\ got their
name because some guys who were
supposed to play for other teams got
together and decided to form a team
using the leftover guys.
One team in the Corps of Cadets
is called the Outfit Boozers. Accord
ing to Jimmy W illett, the seniors
approved the idea because it often
describes the way some of the team
njembers return hoine after a night
out.
The intramural softball teams are
divided into two divisions, AB for
those with a winning record,^
BC for those who are Jess m
eneed. One team that plays ifj
AB divsion division is dMj
CWBCFS. According to team ml
her Ronnie Hamm, these inil
stand for "Could’ve Won BC[j|
Sure.
r
One of the most devoted taiMl
this season is the Davis-Cj
Q-droppers. According to Eif
Knight, the team is composed!
non-intellectuals. Their lisl f
priorities are first — intramiiril
second — girls, and third—sd»l
The team got their name breur
