    Abstract:
    The interactions between thyroid hormones and receptors for steroid hormones and prolactin in dorsal skin and caudal fin of Triturus cristatus carnifex were studied during the annual cycle. Thyroidectomy induces an increase of prolactin binding in the dorsal skin and caudal fin in the animals captured in March. In these thyrodectomized animals the androgen receptors became undetectable. Results indicate that in Triturus cristatus carnifex the thyroid induces an increase of androgen receptors and a decrease, that is removed by thyroidectomy, of prolactin receptors.
