Abstract
Summary and conclusions
1. Dialyzate of hog posterior pituitary lobe induced hyperlipemia in rats, mice, guinea pigs, dogs and rabbits. 2. The LM activity was indistinguishable from that of plasma dialyzate from cortisonized animals. 3. Neither Pitressin® nor Pitocin® had LM activity. 4. Hog anterior pituitary extracts had no LM activity. 5. LM appears to be a hitherto undescribed hormone either elaborated or stored in the posterior pituitary.
