Miller, Richard A., Riddle, Oscar (1943) Effects of prolactin and cortical hormones on body weight and food intake of adrenalectomized pigeons. Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 52. pp. 231-233.
Abstract
Adrenalectomized young Carneau pigeons fed 1.75 g of a salt mixture daily showed an average period of survival of 9 days. Such pigeons eat little food and lose weight. Prolactin induced more than normal gains in body weight when adrenal insufficiency was not acute and restored food intake to a level almost equal to that of unoperated birds.
