Abstract
WHILE studying the role of the thyroid on body growth1 and sexual development2 in the young male rabbit, it was decided to observe the effects of known levels of thyroidal stimulation and inhibition on the adrenals, because they appear to be linked up with that part of the complex endocrine system which influences the various reproductive processes in the male. As castration and summer season both cause a decrease in the rate of secretion of thyroxine in the young male rabbit3, their effects on the adrenals were also studied.
