In earlier studies (Bindoni & Cambria, 1966; Bindoni & Raffaele, 1967) it was demonstrated that in rats removal of the pineal gland leads to an increase in the rate of mitoses and in the incorporation of 32P into the DNA of the liver, spleen and intestine, i.e. organs on whose functions there is little or no evidence of pineal influence (Vaisler & Costiner, 1963; Barbolini, Barbanti & Trentini, 1966; Csaba, Kiss & Bodoky, 1967). As a continuation of our studies on the effects of the pineal gland on the mitotic rate, it was therefore decided to direct our attention to the adenohypophysis, in which various changes following pinealectomy have been described.
Sixteen 6-week-old male albino rats of the Wistar strain were used. They were kept on the same diet and in the same temperature and lighting conditions. They were divided into three groups: the first (n = 7) were pinealectomized
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
