Abstract

This study was designed to (1) determine and compare the sensitivity of three species of Toads of the genus Bufo to the hormone Pitressin, a commercial anti-diuretic hormone, (2) determine and compare the suitability of three species of Bufo as subjects in anti-diuretic hormone bio-assay, and (3) compare the physiological responses of the three species to the injected hormone.
