Abstract
The task set for me by the organizing committee is simultaneously difficult, simple and intimidating. Difficult because of the need to look for order in a nebulous meeting ground of physiology and biochemistry. Simple because of a relative lack of solid information. And intimidating because of the importance of the topic and this audience of distinguished investigators of the topic assembled here before me.
