Changes in the T4/T3 molar ratio following thyrotrophin releasing hormone injection in cattle

Summary The injection of thyrotropin releasing hormone into cattle resulted in a rapid decrease in the T₄/T₃ molar ratio. 2 breeds of cattle, Shorthorn and Africander Cross were studied. The decrease in the T₄/T₃ molar ratio was significantly greater in the Shorthorn breed. It is concluded that acute stimulation of the thyroid gland with TRH results in enhanced release of both T₃ and T₄ and that T₃ is discharged more rapidly than T₄.     

Inactivation of vasotocin by hen's tissues in vitro

Zusammenfassung In vitro wurde die Inaktivation von Vasotocin in einigen Gewebehomogenaten (Leber, Niere, Eileitersegmenten, Magnum, Isthmus Uterus, Vagina) festgestellt. Die grösste Inaktivation wurde bei den Homogenaten von Leber und Utersus gefunden.

The threshold osmotic reactivity of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal antidiuretic system and of the thirst mechanism

Résumé On a examiné la réactivité osmotique du système antidiurétique hypothalamo-hypophysaire et du mécanisme de la soif chez des chiens non narcotisés. Chez tous les animaux examinés, le système antidiurétique s'est montré plus sensible aux stimulus osmotiques que le mécanisme de la soif. On peut supposer que c'est le système antidiurétique qui est activé en premier lieu lors d'un déficit d'eau.     

Granules of Langerhans cells in the thymus contain gold

The granules of Langerhans cells in the thymus of the rat were subjected to X-ray microanalysis. It was established that gold is present in these morphological structures.
