The non-effect of parathyroidectomy in the aquatic limbless newt (Apoda, Amphibia).
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.
