Abstract
In order to examine the role of gonadal–thyroid interactions in controlling the molt, the ratio of circulating levels of testosterone and thyroxine were examined before and during the molt. The results in males fit the hypothesis that an imbalance between the two functions produce molt but the results from females do not.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
