Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Tetrapeptides Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly and Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly were synthesized on the basis of amino acid composition of pituitary cytomedins. Administration of these tetrapeptides to hypophysectomized chickens for 40 days was followed by an increase in the concentrations of thyrotropic hormone and thyroid hormones and recovery of thyroid gland structure.
