Aschner3 has experimented on 88 dogs to determine the relation between the hypophysis and the genitalia, and, as a result, states that, as a rule, atrophy of all the generative organs follows complete or partial extirpation of the hypophysis, and when performed before puberty, there is also adiposity and infantilism of the internal organs. His experiments have included animals of both sexes and all stages of development, and he has made careful histological comparisons between the sexual organs of the hypophysectomized animals and normal ones of the same period of development.
