## Abstract The effect of hypophysectomy, growth hormone (GH) and an amino acidโglucose mixture on the regenerative ability of the hypophysectomized __Triturus pyrrhogaster__ yielded the following results: The survival time of hypophysectomized newts can be prolonged substantially by the sulfamide

## Abstract Preparations of ungulate growth hormone that have been used thus far to establish the role of that compound in supporting limb regeneration in hypophysectomized newts have contained significant prolactin contamination. Prolactin when present with thyroxin has been shown to be effective
## Abstract The forelimb of the newt, __Triturus (Notophthalamus) viridescens__, was bilaterally amputated and the animals subjected to different photoperiods during the period of regeneration, namely (1) continuous light, (2) 15 hours of light/day and (3) total darkness. Animals exposed to continu
## Abstract A procedure is described for the mechanical dissociation and culturing of early stage newt regenerate blastema cells. The specified growth medium is adjusted to suitable osmolarity and consists of Leibovitz Lโ15, water, fetal calf serum, and insulin. This provides a suitable environment
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
