Growth characteristics of intact and hypophysectomized female hamsters. The effect of bovine growth hormone on hypophysectomized hamsters.
Post-weaning growth data, including body length, body weight, and several visceral organ weights, were collected for intact and hypophysectomized female hamsters aged 4 to 12 weeks. In addition, hypophysectomized hamsters were treated with bovine growth hormone for a period of six weeks and the effects examined.
