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

Endogenous and exogenous opiate-like compounds have been found to cause increased serum growth hormone and prolactin levels in animals, and, in some cases, humans. Naloxone, a relatively specific narcotic antagonist, decreases serum prolactin and growth hormone levels in animals. Naloxone (20 mg IV)
## Abstract Bullfrog tadpoles subjected to the daily disturbance of water replacement demonstrated differences in the rates of growth and metamorphosis and in fatbody weights which depended on the time of day when water replacement occurred. Early daily disturbances stimulated larval growth whereas
## Abstract The effects of porcine growth hormone (pGH) or ovine prolactin (oPRL) alone and in combination with triiodothyronine (T~3~) on renal PRL receptors were determined in both preβ and postβmetamorphic tiger salamanders __(Ambystoma tigrinum).__ The protein hormones were given at a dose of 1
