Abstract
A survey of the reactivity of male frogs to various endocrines is reported. Only the gonadotropins and epinephrine constantly produced reactions. Parallel titrations of chorionic and pituitary gonadotropins on rats and frogs produced certain differences, suggesting that with the pituitary-derived substances the frog may indeed be responding to the FSH factor.Keywords
