Abstract
37 bilaterally adrenalec-tomized rats of 2 strains were employed. Of this number 12 served as untreated controls, 13 were injected with cortin and 12 were thymectomized previous to adrenalectomy and injected with cortin following adrenalectomy. Individual wts. were taken periodically. At autopsy the animals were carefully examined for completeness of operation. The thymectomy had no effect on either survival or growth following bilateral adrenalectomy.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
