[Segmental reflexes after sciatic nerve damage in rats given thyroxine]

Amplitude of the L5 segmental reflex responses 20 min. before and after intraperitoneal introduction of obsidan, clopheline and finoptine was recorded in experiments on spinalized and thyroxinized rats which 3 weeks before have endured transection of the sciatic nerve. It is demonstrated that obsidan does not change the amplitude of the monosynaptic reflex responses of the ventral root restored under the effect of thyroxine at the operated side, while clopheline and finoptine mainly reduce it.
