Abstract
After transection of the hypophysial stalk in rabbits ovulation was produced by injs. of quantities of Antuitrin-S and Gonadogen barely sufficient to evoke ovulation in normal control rabbits. The corpora lutea formed were functional. Progestational changes occurred in the uterus and decidual reactions could be produced. The corpora lutea of both the normal and stalk-cut rabbits remained functionally active for 10-12 days following ovulation.
