Abstract
Injs. of pituitary extracts into Fundulus produced no definite effect on the testis and a possible stimulating effect on the ovaries of only 4 out of 35 injected [female][female]. After the pituitary gland was removed, however, the testis did not enlarge at the next breeding changes, became smaller than in control animals, and failed to develop mature sex cells.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
