THE INFLUENCE OF FEEDING THE ANTERIOR LOBE OF THE HYPOPHYSIS ON THE SIZE OF AMBYSTOMA TIGRINUM
Eduard Uhlenhuth 1
1 From the Laboratories of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
1. Animals of the species Ambystoma tigrinum when fed anterior lobe can reach a size far in excess of that of animals fed earthworms and presumably also of that of liver-fed animals.
2. Liver produces a rate of growth as high as that resulting from anterior lobe-feeding, but maintains growth only, until the animals reach a definite size far below that of anterior lobe-fed animals.
