Abstract
Summary In agreement with McShan and Meyer it has been found that tryptic digestion abolishes most of the luteinizing action of extracts of sheep or horse pituitary. However, large doses of digested extract were followed by the formation of some lutein tissue in the ovaries of hypophysectomized immature rats. The effects of digested extracts on the testes of hypophysectomized immature male rats are described.
