Zusammenfassung

Beim HamsterPhodopus sungorus verhinderte Pinealektomie die durch lange Photoperioden bewirkte Beschleunigung der Entwicklung von Hoden und Anhangsdrüsen. Die Befunde zeigen, dass die Epiphyse nicht ausschliesslich antigonadotroph wirkt, sondern auch an der progonadotrophen Wirkung langer Photoperioden beteiligt ist.
