Abstract
I do not wish to give the impression that important work in this field had not been done prior to 19261927 The observations published here and abroad at that time were only a final demonstration of the important role played by the anterior hypophysis in reproduction More than twenty years ago dishing and his coworkers1 and Aschner2 had demonstrated that hypophysectomy caused an atrophy of the reproductive system By partial gonadectomies parabioses and the like it had also been shown that some extragonadal factor was essential to gonadal function Evans and Long3 had secured excessive luteinization of the ovaries in normal rats by the injection of anterior lobe extracts
