Abstract
Mammalian prolactin inhibits thyroxin-induced resorption of the tail in Rana catesbeiana tadpoles. Mammalian growth hormone does not show this effect. The possible importance of prolactin as a larval growth hormone in amphibians is emphasized.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
