George Richards Minot

Japanese: マイノット - まいのっと(英語表記)George Richards Minot
George Richards Minot

American physician and hematologist. Born in Boston. Graduated from Harvard University in 1912, Minot became professor of medicine at the same university in 1928. Around that time, he learned of a research report by University of Rochester pathology professor Whipple, who had improved secondary anemia in dogs by using a liver diet, and in collaboration with his assistant Murphy, applied this treatment to patients with pernicious anemia, hypochromic anemia, and agranulocytopenia. As a result, he achieved good results and announced his findings in 1926 as "Anemia Treated by Special Diet." In 1934, Minot, along with Whipple and Murphy, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He continued to research blood diseases throughout his life, and although he suffered from diabetes, he prolonged his life by giving insulin injections from 1922, and received many honors both at home and abroad.

アメリカの内科医、血液病学者。ボストンの生まれ。1912年ハーバード大学を卒業し、1928年同大学内科学教授となる。そのころ彼は、ロチェスター大学の病理学教授ホイップルが二次性貧血のイヌを肝臓食で改善させた研究報告を知り、助手のマーフィーとの共同研究で、悪性貧血、低色素性貧血、顆粒(かりゅう)球減少症などの患者にこの治療法を応用した。その結果、よい成績をあげ、1926年に「特別食による貧血療法」として発表した。1934年、マイノットは、ホイップル、マーフィーとともに、ノーベル医学生理学賞を受けた。彼は終生血液疾患の研究を続け、糖尿病を患っていたが、1922年からインスリンの注射で延命し、内外の多くの栄誉を受けた。
