Fig. 24. — Adiposity in a female rat (to the left) in which destruction of the pitui- 

 tary body by the injection of chromic acid had been attempted. Nevertheless, ';i,2, 

 per cent of the anterior pituitary remained — probably sufficient for all the rat's 

 needs (Smith, 1932); the animal was also given daily intraperitoneal injections of a 

 suspension of beef anterior pituitary. Littermate normal female rat to the right. 

 From Smith (1930).
