[The state of the peripheral endocrine glands 14 months following hypophysectomy and their sensitivity to the tropic hormones of the hypophysis].
Rats hypophysectomized at the age of four weeks continued to grow at a delayed rate during the whole fourteen month's observation period.  A spontaneous development of the sexual apparatus was noted in some of the hypophysectomized animals: an increase in the weight of the testes, of the ventral prostate and of the seminal vesicles.  In fourteen months the peripheral endocrine glands retained their sensitivity to the tropic hormones of the hypophysis; a ten-day adminstration of a corresponding tropic hormone led to a double increase in weight of the dependent endocrine gland and a sharp elevation of its functional activity.
