Abstract

Thyroxine, reserpine, and a combination of the two drugs were given to white mice over a ten-week period. Effects on growth rate were noted. Data are presented which indicate that a sequence of thyroxine for two days and reserpine for one day, with the sequence repeated over the experimental period, proved to have greatest effect on growth rate.
