Abstract
Summary
Adrenalectomy and hypophysectomy were found to abolish the ovarian hyperemia response to human chorionic gonadotrophin. Corticotrupin and cortisone acetate restored this effect in hypophysectomized rats, and cortisone acetate, as well as other steroids, in the adrenalectomized rats.
Adrenalectomy but not hpphysectumy prevented this response to an anterior pituitary prepration. Cortisone acetate reinstituted the effect in the adrenalectomized anterior pituitary injected animals.
