Abstract
Each of 19 guinea pigs was injected intra-peritoneally daily for 9 days with 1 cc. of alkaline extract of the ant. hypophysis. 15 guinea pigs on an identical diet were reserved for controls.

These data, in addition to other available evidence, indicate that the ant. hypophyseal extract exhibited a para-thyreotropic activitv.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
