Popis: | IN AN EARLIER PAPER Wilson and DeEds (I) called attention to the synergistic action of orally administered thyroid on the production of bleached rat incisors by fluorine, and briefly reviewed the claims of other authors relative to a relation ship between the thyroid gland and fluorine toxicity. At that time the observations of Wilson and DeEds were correlated with those of Karnofsky and Crpnkite (2) on the effect of thyroxin on eruption of teeth in newborn rats. The present paper deals with the relationship of the anterior pituitary to fluorine toxicity as manifested by an increased susceptibility to the bleaching action of ingested fluorine on rat incisors produced by the daily injection of thyrotropic hormone. Earlier observations on the relationship of the pituitary gland to fluorine toxicity havebeen made by Cristiani (3) and by Phillips, Lamb and coworkers (4, 5, 6). Cristiani reported macroscopic changes in the hypophysis |
