Abstract
The amount of food eaten daily by control pregnant mice greatly increased during the latter third of pregnancy. The weight curve of the animals closely followed that of food consumption. Treatment with cortisone caused pregnant animals to eat more and weigh less than the controls. Effects of cortisone on these phenomena did not immediately cease upon completion of the treatment. The teratogenic effect of cortisone, therefore, cannot be a consequence of decreased food intake.Keywords
