Based on a number of his experimental studies on rabbits, the author draws the following conclusions: the complete removal of the gland, thyreoidea entails a strong slowdown in the processes of regeneration and degeneration in the peripheral myelin nerve fibers; comparatively small particles of glands are enough to prevent the appearance of this slowdown; this inhibitory effect cannot be attributed to a general deceleration of metabolism or cochexia strumipriva.
