Abstract
ABSTRACT The vasopressor and oxytocic activities in the posterior lobes of the pituitary gland were found to be markedly higher in female than in male rats. Whereas adrenalectomy decreased these activities in the males, it produced no changes in the female. Gonadectomy lowered the vasopressor activity in males, but had no effect on oxytocic activity. Ovariectomy decreased oxytocic activity, but produced no significant changes in vasopressor activity.
