    The AA. describe the morphophysiological variations of the thyroid gland of the lizard Podarcis s. sicula after administration of acetylcholine in May and in October. This treatment shows an evident stimulating effect on the thyroid both in May, the period in which the gland is in functional activity, and in October, in which the gland is inactive

    Relationships adrenal gland-thyroid gland: Effects of ACTH and Bentelan administration on the morphology of the thyroid gland of Triturus cristatus

    A group of adult male specimens of Triturus cristatus was treated with i.p. injections of ACTH 4 U.I. and another group with i.p. injections of Bentelan 7,5 γ. The thyroids were excised after 3, 7, 9 injections. The specimens were treated in February-March when the thyroid gland shows a strong functional activity. In treated specimens after 7 injections and much more after 9 injections of ACTH or of Betametasone the gland shows morphological signs of inhibition: the follicular epithelium is very low and the colloid is compact
