Hibernation in the Golden Hamster, Mesocricetus Auratus Waterhouse; a Histological Study

Hibernation in the Golden Hamster, Mesocricetus Auratus Waterhouse; a Histological Study HIBERNATION IN THE GOLDEN HAMSTER, MESOCRICETUS AURATUS WATERHOUSE; A HISTOLOGICAL STUDY II.

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.
