Abstract
The adrenocortical X-zone was very poorly developed in young female mice homozygous for the hypothyroid, hyt, mutation, Feeding the mice thyroid powder resulted in the development of an X-zone. This subsequently degenerated in the same way as the X-zone found in the normal litter-mates of the mutants. We suggest that the adrenocortical effects may be due to changes in prolactin stimulation consequent upon the lack of response to thyrotrophin of the mutants. J. Endocr. (1984) 102, 277–280
