Thyroids from rat fetuses of different ages (from day 14 to day 19 of gestation) were transplanted to organ culture for 2 days, with or without added thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the medium. Thyroid tissue from 14-day fetuses that initially consisted of irregularly arranged cell cords did no

## Abstract Fetal thyroid hormone (RT~3~) is considered metabolically inactive and is present in high concentration in fetuses and in some patients with endβstage malignant disease. In a virusβinduced erythroleukemia cell model, RT~3~ was found to stimulate the growth of the erythroleukemia cells i
Male Wistar rats were exposed continuously for 1 or 2 months to 25 or 100 ppm CO. The concentrations of noradrenaline in the hypothalamus, corticosterone and thyroxine in serum and of adrenal catecholamines were estimated. After exposure to 25 ppm CO no significant changes were observed in the serum
## Abstract Fetal (18 days postcoitum) and neonatal (3βday) pancreatic explants were grown in organ culture with or without supplementation with corticosterone (0.1 ΞΌg/ml). After 0, 4, and 8 days of culture, the specific hormoneβpositive, islet cell volumes were determined by the use of immunocytoc
