Abstract
No essential difference was found in sensitivity to injections of follicular hormone of the uterus and vagina between hypophysectomized and oophorectomized rats. The response of the vagina as regards free cell types and structure of epithelium and of the uterus as regards weight and structure was always as great in hypophysectomized as in oophorectomized rats, and not infrequently greater. This agrees with other experimental work in rodents, which has failed to show any direct interrelationship of the vagina or uterus with the anterior hypophysis.
