PARS GLANDULARIS AND METABOLISM 



exogenous origin, whereas anterior pituitary extract favors 

 protein synthesis. 



Additional reports on the interrelationship of the anterior 

 pituitary and the metabolism of minerals have been made. 

 However, there frequently is a lack of agreement. Possible 

 effects of extracts on the metabolism of water are usually 

 neglected. There is evidence that the activity of the para- 

 thyroid glands is regulated to some extent by the pars glandu- 

 laris. This control appears to be slight and is much less ef- 

 fective than that exercised over the adrenals, gonads, or 

 thyroid.
