Axolotls have been used in a series of experiments designed to test the growth-retarding properties of the parathyroid glands of mammals, prepared so as to include the anti-growth hormone. Such retardation of growth has been obtained, and is proportional to dosage. This extends the growth-retarding effect of this hormone to the Anamnia, and to forms which presumably have no parathyroid themselves. A lightening of colour in normally dark pigmented individuals was noted after a considerable period (about eight weeks) of treatment.
