Abstract: The effect of hypophysectomy on chloride balance was examined in young-of-the-year bowfin, Amia calva. Hypophysectomy resulted in decreased serum and total body chloride levels but not in serum and total body sodium levels. Hypophysectomy resulted in decreased chloride influx with no effect on chloride efflux or sodium fluxes. Prolactin therapy reversed the effect of hypophysectomy on electrolyte balance but caused a significant reduction in serum protein.
