Induced metamorphosis in Ambystoma mexicanum: Lack of effect of triiodothyronine on tissue or blood levels of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)

In order to test the hypothesis that thyroid hormone affects thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) during metamorphosis, the latter was induced in the facultative neotenic amphibian, Ambystoma mexicanum, by injection of triiodothyronine (T 3). Plasma levels of T 3 were readily detectable up to 2 weeks...
