Various types of stress, chemical or surgical, have a negative influence on the protein and RNA content of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system of Rana esculenta. A degree of recovery occurs in these tissues 24 h after MS222 anaesthesia and laparotomy. Decapitation is apparently the most suitable method of sacrificing the animals.
