[The larval gonad of Bufo arenarum exposed to thyroid hormones].
"The larval gonad of Bufo arenarum exposed to thyroid hormone" In order to analyze the effect of thyroid hormone on the Bufo arenarum's gonad, that is a "undifferentiated race", the embryos were exposed to tri-iodo-thyronine. The results suggest that in this species, gonadal differentiation would be related to thyroid hormone. Moreover, we can observe that the number of oocytes are increased and that they are more ripe than in the control gonads.
