Summary
(1) It had been stated previously that in guinea-pigs the rupture of the thymus-thyroid-gonad balance resulted in an increased thyrotropic activity of the anterior pituitary.
(2) An attempt is made to verify this assertion. It was to be expected that in thymi-thyreoprive castrated guinea-pigs (which do not secrete any thyrotropic factor) injections of one or several hormones of the thymusthyroid-gonad group in an unbalanced relation might determine an increased thyrotropic activity of the urine.
(3) Experimental results have confirmed this supposition.
