title: The non-effect of parathyroidectomy in the aquatic limbless newt (Apoda, Amphibia).
abstract: In the aquatic limbless newt, Typhlonectes compressicauda (Apoda, Amphibia), serum Ca levels of parathyroidectomized newts were no lower than for the control newts at 1 week after the operation. In this species, the parathyroid glands may not be functional in raising the serum Ca levels.
