Abstract
Rabbit pituitaries from animals exposed to 750 and 1100 r of total body Co-60 gamma irradiation showed an early suppression of gonadotropin principles as measured by the chick gonad response. The 750 r group showed the depression on the 8th day after irradiation while in the 1100 r group suppression was evident by day one and was sustained through day 7. After this time gonadotropin activity in both groups returned to the normal level.
