THE INFLUENCE OF HYPOPHYSECTOMY ON THE BLOOD SUGAR AND GLUCOSE TOLERANCE IN XENOPUS LÆVIS

H. Zwarenstein 1 and L. P. Bosman 1

1 Department of Physiology, University of Cape Town

1. Various agencies which affect colour change and pituitary action on melanophores have no effect on the fasting blood-sugar level.

2. Hypophysectomy, whether total or partial, has no effect on the fasting blood-sugar level.

3. Hypophysectomy leads to a considerable increase in the tolerance to glucose.

The expenses for this research were defrayed by a grant from the Research Grant Board of the Union of South Africa. We beg to thank Mr. D. G. Duncan for assistance in the blood-sugar estimations.
