Abstract
MANY METHODS have been used to study the relation of the ovaries to the thyroid glands. Van Horn (i) reported that three rat units of theelin were necessary to produce estrus in experimental hyperthyroid rats. Gessler (2) reported a decrease in basal metabolism in guinea pigs with the use of folliculin. Collett, Smith and Wertenberger (3) found that theelin, theelol or amniotin increased the basal metabolism of ovariectomizd women. Sherwood et al. (4) showed that thee lin and amniotin lowered the basal metabolism of ovariectomizd rats. The author also showed in the above investigation that amniotin lowered the basal metabolic level in experimental hyperthyroid rats. Grumbrecht and Loeser (5) investigated the relation of ovarian to thyroid function through a study of structural changes in the thyroid gland. They suggested that ovariectomy caused a flattening of the epithelial cells and allowed a storage of colloid. It is suggested that the thyrotropic hormone was in creased as a mechanism of defense agains...
