A group of adult male specimens of Triturus cristatus was treated with i.p. injections of ACTH 4 U.I. and another group with i.p. injections of Bentelan 7,5 γ.

Abstract
A group of adult male specimens of Triturus cristatus was treated with i.p. injections of ACTH 4 U.I. and another group with i.p. injections of Bentelan 7,5 γ. The thyroids were excised after 3, 7, 9 injections. The specimens were treated in February-March when the thyroid gland shows a strong functional activity. In treated specimens after 7 injections and much more after 9 injections of ACTH or of Betametasone the gland shows morphological signs of inhibition: the follicular epithelium is very low and the colloid is compact.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
