Growth of the Mammary Glands in Hypophysectomized Mice.

Abstract

SummarySlight growth of mammary glands of some hypophysectomized male mice was induced within 15 days by the injection of desoxycorticosterone acetate, progesterone and estradiol di-propionate. A more extensive and more rapid proliferation of the mammary ducts of hypophysectomized mice occurred when desoxycorticosterone acetate or progesterone was injected with the estradiol dipropionate.
