DNA synthesis and mitosis in frog lens epithelium are abolished by hypophysectomy and restored by somatomedin C. Both growth hormone and triiodothyronine also restore lens cell proliferation in vivo but not in vitro. Somatomedin-like activity in frog serum is diminished by hypophysectomy and is restored by growth hormone and triiodothyronine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
