Stimulating Factor

ABSTRACT By using enzymes, the gonadotrophic factors in the skipper-frog pituitary glands have been selectively inactivated or destroyed. By incubating a known number of pituitary gland homogenate with ptyalin in a constant temperature bath for 5–6 h the follicle-stimulating factor is inactivated; with trypsin or pepsin, the luteinizing factor is inactivated. Bioassay on gravid skipper-frogs indicate that the ptyalin digested homogenate brings about profuse spawning while the trypsin or pepsin digested homogenates do not. When a combination of ptyalin digested and trypsin digested homogenates is injected into fresh gravid skipper-frogs, poor spawning is brought about. These experiments show that the luteinizing factor alone brings about more profuse spawning than when it is combined with the follicle-stimulating factor. It is likely, therefore, that in the lower vertebrates the luteinizing factor of the pituitary gland plays a more predominant role. The exact proportions in which the different dosages for the control and test animals are administered are also tabulated.

The Difference

AbstractThe activity of the cockroach Ectobius lapponicus was found to differ in males and females in the field, the males being active during the afternoon, the females after sunset. The difference was thought to be due to an inhibition by low temperatures in the males, displacing the activity towards an earlier period of the day. This is in accordance with a theory concerning sensitization, and different thresholds of release dependent on light and temperature as established for the stridulation in Orthoptera Ensifera and the locomotion in a domestic cockroach. A relationship between the amount of activity and the relative humidity was found in the nymphs. Laboratory experiments showed that the activity at constant temperature was released by a change from light to darkness. If low temperatures were applied during the dark period, the activity was displaced to the latter half of the light period. The influence of illumination on the activity was investigated, a faint illumination being more favourable than total darkness.
