  • Title: Effect of thyroidectomy on sex & accessory sex organs in a common Indian garden lizard Calotes versicolor (Daud).
    Author: Choubey BJ.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 1977 Aug; 15(8):598-600. PubMed ID: 606665.
    Abstract:
    In adult male lizards, body weight was unchanged after thyroidectomy. The cell height of the sexual segment of the kidneys was decreased significantly (p .001). Weights of testes, vas deferens, hemipenis, and kidneys of thyroidectomized animals were less than those of controls (p .001). At autopsy of thyroidectomized lizards, the testes and the sexual segment of the kidneys were found to be degenerate and inactive at a time when intact animals were at their peak of development.
