In agreement with earlier results, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) enhances spermatogenesis in the snail. Thyreotropic hormone (TSH), which resembles FSH in its chemical structure, acts in the same way as does adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to a lesser extent. As opposed to FSH, TSH and ACTH clearly increased the number of mature egg cells. The experiments support the view that the gonad cells of the snails respond to vertebrate hormones, and that the hormones have overlapping effects at this level.
与早期结果一致，促卵泡激素（FSH）可增强蜗牛的精子发生。促甲状腺激素（TSH）在化学结构上与FSH相似，其作用方式与促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）相同，但程度较小。与FSH相反，TSH和ACTH明显增加了成熟卵细胞的数量。这些实验支持了这样一种观点，即蜗牛的性腺细胞对脊椎动物激素有反应，并且这些激素在这一水平上具有重叠效应。
