## Abstract The influence of light on fur growth and reproduction in the mink has been investigated. Exposure of kits and adults to 4L/20D (4 light hours/20 dark hours) after completion of the summer furring cycle accelerated the development of the winter pelage. Gradually increasing the length of

## Abstract ABSTRACT The role of the adrenal glands in regulating onset of winter fur growth in mink was investigated in longβterm adrenalectomized animals. Bilateral adrenalectomy of adult female standard dark mink between June 23 and July 11, 1990, initiated onset of winter fur growth approximate
The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) if the onset of winter hair growth (anagen) in mink could be delayed or inhibited by elevating endogenous PRL concentrations; (2) if bilaterally adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced winter anagen occurs concomitantly with a reduction in serum PRL concentrat
