Abstract

Injs. of the gonadotropic hormone, antuitrin-S, causes arrested growth of the thymus in young albino rats. The effect was not induced before the 18th day, and was effected through mediation of the gonads, since no effect could be induced in gonadectomized animals. Effectiveness declined in the 2 with continued injs. of 20 U daily. Changes induced in the thymus had no effect on the body growth of the animal.
