HIBERNATION IN THE GOLDEN HAMSTER, MESOCRICETUS AURATUS WATERHOUSE; A HISTOLOGICAL STUDY II. THYROID GLAND, ISLANDS OF LANGERHANS, ADRENAL GLANDS AND ANTERIOR LOBE OF THE HYPOPHYSIS by J. H. SMIT-VIS (Department of Anatomy and Embryology, University of Amsterdam) and G.J. SMIT (Central Institute for Brain Research, Amsterdam). I. INTRODUCTION This second part of our study on hibernation in the golden hamster concerns the histological changes occurring in the endocrine glands which either directly or indirectly control the thermoregulation, i.e. the thyroid gland, the islands of Langerhans, the adrenal glands and the anterior lobe of the hypophysis. In spite of the fact that the literature dealing with the role of the above mentioned endocrine glands in hibernation is fairly extensive, is is difficult to make comparisons, because there are wide variations in the species used as well as in the experimental procedures applied. Moreover, there is much evidence that the golden hamster has a pecul- iar position among the hibernators (a.o. MOGLER, 1958; POHL, 1961). Therefore, in the discussion of our results only comparisons will be made with studies also dealing with golden the hamster.
