## Abstract Eastern redβspotted newts are ectotherms, aquatic as adults, and active yearβround, breeding even during winter under ice. Earlier research, with fieldβcaptured newts, showed a correlation between seasonal changes in the activity of some muscle metabolic enzymes and in the behavior of t

The concentrations of thyroxine (TJ and triiodothyronine (T,) were determined on samples of fresh sera from adult male and female newts during the course of forelimb regeneration by means of radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods. The results show that the circulatory levels of T, and T3 in males and female
The effects of ovine prolactin (oPRL) and ovine (01 or porcine (p) growth hormone (GH) on growth of anuran larvae were compared. In grass frog tadpoles (Rana pipiens), injections of oPRL (10 p,gigmlday) increased tail growth and body weight but had no effect on hindlimb growth or development. The sa
Experiments were designed to compare the effects of recombinant newt fibroblast growth factor-1 (rnFGF-1) and recombinant human glial growth factor (rhGGF) on lens and retina regeneration in the eyes of adult newts. Both eyes were retinectomized and lentectomized. Beginning 3 days after the operatio
## Abstract Frogs and tadpoles (__Rana pipiens__) were treated with mammalian prolactin or growth hormone for several days, then injected with ^14^Cβleucine. Fourteen to sixteen hours later the animals were killed and the amount of label incorporated into protein of muscle, liver, and gut was measu
