β¦ Synopsis
Sucrase activity i n the intestine of the chick embryo increases to a pre-hatching maximum at 19 days. A significant decrease i n activity occurs by 20 days, followed by rapid increases i n the jejunum and the ileum after hatching, while duodenal activity continues to decrease. The injection of hydrocortisone resulted in significant increases i n sucrase activity. The decrease i n activity that normally occurred after 19 days was delayed until after 20 days. The hydrocortisone-induced increases were completely abolished when cycloheximide was administered two or three days after the hormone injection.
When actinomycin D was administered at 16 days, there were significant

Injection of minute amounts of actinomycin D into the yolk sac of chick embryos during the second day of incubation is capable of inducing anomalous development of the axial skeleton (Pierro, '61). Abnormal embryos are classified as either trunkless or rumpless. Rumpless embryos lack a pygostyle and
## Abstract Cultured neural crest melanocytes from chick embryos were treated with actinomycin D or cycloheximide. The effects of these inhibitors upon melanogenesis was determined by monitoring the incorporation of ^3^HβDOPA into premelanosomes and melanosomes using high resolution autoradiography
Intestinal motor patterns are not well developed in premature infants. Similarly, in neonatal mice, irregular motor patterns were observed. Pacemaker cells, identified in the small intestine as interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) associated with Auerbach's plexus (ICC-APs), contribute to the generati
