Abstract

Hypophysectomy causes inactivity of the thyroid gland and it has been known for some time that thyroxine augments the body weight and skeletal growth responses to growth hormone in hypophysectomized and hypophysectomizedthyroidectomized rats (Smith 1933; Evans, Simpson, and Pencharz 1939; Scow et ale 1949; Li 1953; Asling et ale 1954).
