Abstract
Placement of basomedial hypothalamic lesions in chickens prevented hypertrophy of the thyroid gland and the increase in the population of alcianophilic-thyrotropic cells in the adenohypophysis induced by feed supplementation of 0.1% propylthiouracil. It is suggested that destruction of the basomedial hypothalamus causes damage in a possible production site of the thyrotropic releasing hormone, or, perhaps, in its transport pathway.
