| Abstract: | A new technique for hypophysectomy of 4 to 6 day old neonatal rats is described. A success rate of 82% was obtained on 6 day old neonates, and they showed a 50% reduction in growth rate. The advantages of this new technique are discussed. It provides a method for directly studying the pituitary contribution to development in the preweaned rat pup. |
