TLDR
Electrolytic bilateral lesions of the nuclei habenulae were made in male, adult photostimulated quail, and Habenular destruction led to a marked decrease in the plasma thyroxine level, whereas sham operated birds did not differ from controls.
Abstract
Electrolytic bilateral lesions of th nuclei habenulae were made in male, adult photostimulated quail. Habenular destruction led to a marked decrease in the plasma thyroxine level (40%), whereas sham operated birds did not differ from controls. This result appears to be somewhat different from those obtained in mammals and the mechanisms of habenular-thyroid interrelationships are unknown.

Protective effect of the flavonoid silybin dihemisuccinate on the toxicity of phenylhydrazine on rat liver

TL;DR: Using a hemoglobin‐free perfusion system, this work demonstrates the protective effect of the in vivo treatment of the rat with silybin dihemisuccinate on the hepatic glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation induced by the infusion of phenylhydrazine into the perfusion buffer.

Comparison of plasma thyroxine levels following short exposure to cold and TRH administration in intact and pituitary autografted quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica).

TL;DR: The thyrotropic functional abilities of ectopically transplanted anterior pituitaries were tested by subjecting quail bearing their adenohypophysis in juxtarenal position either to a short cold exposure or to an intravenous injection of TRH.
