Two experiments were conducted to test the influence of ambient light and the pineal gland on the pituitary-thyroidal and pituitary-gonadal axes of female golden hamsters. The results show that the thyroid glands of dark-exposed 1light:dark (LD) 1:23 in hours], goitrogen-treated (1% aqueous thiourea
The rate of reproductive development in juvenile male Siberian hamsters is strongly influenced by daylength (photoperiod). Recent studies indicate that reception of photoperiodic cues begins during fetal life. The present experiments yielded a further demonstration that developing male Siberian hams
In an attempt to localize components of the renin angiotensin-system in the pineal gland of rats, immunocytochemical studies using the PAP-technique were performed with antisera against angiotensin I, angiotensin II and angiotensinogen. The staining pattern thus obtained was not only the same for th
