TL;DR: Melatonin injection either in the morning or in the evening decreases spermatogenesis as well as the Leydig Cell nuclear area in toad, whereas if administered twice daily (morning+evening) it shows no such effect.

TL;DR: The first experimental vitiligo responding to treatment with psoralene has been developed using Bufo melanostictus, and it is shown that the depigmentation produced by the tyrosinase inhibitors hydroquinone and catechol is counteracted by psoralenes.

TL;DR: The inorease in weight of the prostates of immature hypophysectomised rats is unique in that it is affected neither by the follicle-stimulating hormone nor by estrogens, which is quite an accurate method, although cumbrous, time-taking, and needs a high degree of dexterity in its performance.
Abstract: THE various methods of assay of human chorionic gonadotrophin may, broadly speaking, be divided into 2 groups-first, based upon primary changes produced by the hormone in the gonads and, second, on secondary changes caused by it in the accessory reproductive organs of test animals. Assays depending on changes in the vaginal epithilium, increase in weight of uterus or of male organs, etc., belong to the laltter group and have been found to be totally unreliable and inaccurate. But the single exception of this group of tests is the inorease in weight of the prostates of immature hypophysectomised rats (Greep et dl), which is unique in that it is affected neither by the follicle-stimulating hormone nor by estrogens. I t is quite an accurate method, although cumbrous, time-taking, and needs a high degree of dexterity in its performance.
