Abstract
Male albino rats from Wistar stock were injected subcutaneously daily with non-toxic doses of DL thyroxine from birth to 36 days of age. This hormone accelerated the maturation of the seminiferous epithelium but reduced the rate of increase in weight of the testes and the ventral prostate gland.Keywords
