The gonadotropic hormone of the blood of the pregnant mare has been greatly concentrated by adsorption on active aluminum hydroxide followed by elution. The preparations so obtained gave demonstrable gonadotropic effects within 100 hours in 21 day old female mice following three subcutaneous injections of 0.001 mg. in 1 cc. of physiological saline. As is well known, other gonadotropic substances do not cause conspicuous development of the male gonads but injections of comparatively large doses of these preparations into immature male rats caused marked development of the testes, which in 10 days were trebled in weight. An astonishing increase in the weight of the seminal vesicles resulted, for these organs were approximately 75 times heavier than in controls.

1. Experiments are described which show that active extracts of ovarian tissue minus corpus luteum can be obtained which significantly raise the lowered level of the serum calcium in ovariectomised toads; and also raise the serum calcium level in normal toads above the normal level. 2. Injection of adequate doses of antuitrin (Parke, Davis and Co.), raises the lowered level of serum calcium in hypophysectomised toads almost to normal; and of ovariectomised toads to the normal level. The effect is obtained more readily in the ovariectomised condition. 3. Injection of pituitrin (Parke, Davis and Co.), depresses the serum calcium level in normal, ovariectomised and completely hypophysectomised toads. The effect is more readily obtained in the normal intact animal than in the ovariectomised or the totally hypophysectomised state, when the ovaries have undergone involution. 4. It is suggested that there is evidence that the principles exerting a hormonelike action on calcium metabolism are not, in the case of the ovary, either oestrin or the luteal hormone, or in the case of the pituitary, the gonadotropic hormone.

One of the crucial elements contributing to the adaptation of organisms to unfavorable environmental conditions is the reaction of stress. The study of its genetic control and role in adaptation to unfavorable conditions are of special interest. The juvenile hormone (JH) acts as a gonadotropic hormone in adult insects controlling the development of the ovaries, inducing vitellogenesis and oviposition. It was shown that a decrease in JH degradation in individuals reacting to adverse conditions by stress reaction (R­individuals) causes delay in egg laying and seems to allow the population to “wait out” the unfavorable conditions, thereby contributing to the adaptation at the population level. However, monitoring natural populations of D. melanogaster for the capability of stress reaction demonstrated that they have a high percentage of individuals incapable of it (NR­individuals). The study of reproductive characteristics of R­ and NR­individuals showed that under normal conditions R­individuals have the advantage of procreating offspring. Under unfavorable conditions, if the stressor is intense enough, NR­individuals die, but if its intensity is low, then they, unlike R­individuals, continue to produce offspring. Based on these data, it was hypothesized that the balance of R­ and NR­alleles in the population ensures its adaptation under frequent stresses of low intensity. To verify the hypothesis by an experiment, the ftness characteristics (lifespan, fecundity) of the R and NR lines of D. virilis were studied under normal conditions and under regular heat stress of various frequency.

The author summarizes the role of various factors causing menstruation. A number of different theories are described, and as a result, the author comes to the conclusion that menstruation is a complex hormonal process. The mechanism of menstruation depends on both the gonadotropic hormone of the anterior lobe and the hormones of the ovary folliculin, progestin.
