The thyrotropic functional abilities of ectopically transplanted anterior pituitaries were tested by subjecting quail bearing their adenohypophysis in juxtarenal position either to a short cold exposure or to an intravenous injection of TRH. Thyroxine was determined in plasma samples collected from 20 to 120 min after treatment. Intact birds exhibited increasing T4 levels up to a peak at 40 min, then decreasing slowly within 2 hr after either cold or TRH stimulation. Autografted birds exhibited significant although lower and delayed increase of plasma thyroxine following both stimuli.
通过对腺垂体异位移植到肾旁位置的鹌鹑进行短期冷暴露或静脉注射促甲状腺激素释放激素（TRH），来测试异位移植的垂体前叶的促甲状腺功能。在处理后20至120分钟采集的血浆样本中测定甲状腺素。完整的鸟类在冷暴露或TRH刺激后，其甲状腺素水平持续上升，在40分钟时达到峰值，然后在2小时内缓慢下降。自体移植的鸟类在两种刺激后血浆甲状腺素均有显著升高，尽管升高幅度较小且延迟。
