The influence of splenin, a "splenic protein-free extract", and splenectomy on the somatotropic hormone content in the rat pituitary were investigated. It was established that the concentration of this pituitary hormone was only decreased after "protein-free extract" administration. It was suggested that the detected effect was due to peptides incorporated in the preparation composition.
