Hypophysectomy and the sympatho-adrenal system in cold acclimation.
Hypophysectomy does not impair the increase in weight of brown adipose tissue and adrenals following cold acclimation of the rat. In brown fat, the cold-induced increases in NE and 5 HT contents are not modified by hypophysectomy. In adrenals, hypophysectomy does not change the NE content, but a fall in epinephrine content was observed.
