Popis:	Din size of the gonads and regression of the head furnishings according to the work of Herrick and Torstveit (I). The nature of the effect, however, permits little more than speculation as to whether the adrenals normally exert some influence on the gonads directly, or on some other part of the body that in turn influences the gonads and head furnishings. That the pituitary might play a part as an intermediary was an attractive possibility. This contingency is not wholly without support since in Addison's disease, characterised by dysfunction of the adrenal cortex, marked alterations of the basophils in the anterior pituitary have been described (2-8). Kraus states that basophils which were present after prolonged Addison's disease exhibited various aspects of degeneration—pycnotic nuclei, degranulation, shrunken and irregular form, and indistinct cell borders.
