McCarrison ('21) observed a marked decrease in the weight of the thyroid gland in starved pigeons, though relatively less than that in the whole body (Fig. 35). Trowbridge, Moulton and Haigh ('18) and Moulton, Trowbridge and Haigh ('22a) concluded that in steers the thyroid ("neck sweetbread") is somewhat reduced in weight in the poorly nourished. Okuneff ('22) in the thyroid gland of the rabbit found the fatty cell granules small and scarce, but (confirming Traina '04) unchanged during inanition with loss of 30-40 per cent in body weight.
